I'm a Python beginner trying write a program that reads outside txt files,
takes the data like the name and test grades of students then calculate the
average and also assigns a grade and writes the data into a new txt file.
I'm having difficulties writing the program so far I've been able to write
up half of the program but I am noticing there might be bugs. I've tried
running the program but every time I do, my program output is blank and
there is no error messages
I'm trying to write 4 Functions to extract data from files into Student
name, Score1, Score2 and Score 3 lists. then from there I'm trying to
create a function that will calculate the average test score using the
score1, score2, score3. After that I'm trying to create a function that
will to write to file using Student name, lettergrade list. Here is my
program so far.
def calcaverage(test1,test2,test3):
for count in range(test1,test2,test3):
curraverage=0
curraverage=((test1[count]+ test2[count]+ test3[count])/3)
currentaverage.append(curraverage)
if curraverage>= 90:
grade= "A"
lettergrades.append(grade)
elif curraverage >= 80 and curraverage < 90:
grade= "B"
lettergrades.append(grade)
elif curraverage >= 70 and curraverage < 80:
grade= "C"
lettergrades.append(grade)
elif curraverage < 70:
grade= "F"
lettergrades.append(grade)
name=[]
test1=[]
test2=[]
test3=[]
averagescore=[]
lettergrades=[]
with open ("period1.txt", 'r') as infile:
for line in infile:
values = line.split()
name.append(values[0] + ','+ values[1])
for line in infile:
values = line.split()
score1=float(values[2])
test1.append(score1)
for line in infile:
values = line.split()
score2=float(values[3])
test2.append(score2)
for line in inline:
values = line.split()
score3=float(values[4])
test3.append(score3)
averagescore=calcaverage(test1,test2,test3)
print(line)
