What have you tried? Please show us some code.
The basic idea would be to iterate over the lines and split the current line
into words.
If the second word is "name" and it's not the first iteration print the
student's name, age, and was_late count. Then set the name variable to the
new name and reset age and was_late to 0. To detect the first iteration you
can set
name = None
before you enter the loop and then check for that value before printing:
if name is not None:
... # print student data
If the second word is "age" convert the 4th word to integer and set the age
variable.
If the second word is "was" increment the was_late counter.
Remember that when the loop ends and the file was not empty you have one
more student's data to print.
