Item Counter
Assume that a file containing a series of names (as strings) is named names.dat and exists on the computer’s disk. Design a program that displays the number of names that are stored in the file. (Hint: Open the file and read every string stored in it. Each time you read a string, increment a counter variable. When you’ve read all the strings from the file, the counter variable will contain the number of names stored in the file.)
Note. Write pseudo code in Python.
True or FalseAs items are read from the file, the read position moves forward, toward the end of the file.
Body Mass Index
Write a program that reads names, weights, and heights from bmi.dat (provided with starter code; do not change the file name). Use the information to calculate and displays a person’s body mass index (BMI). The BMI is often used to determine whether a person with a sedentary lifestyle is overweight or underweight for his or her height. A person’s BMI is calculated with the following formula:
BMI = weight × 703 / height2
where weight is measured in pounds and height is measured in inches.
The file is in the format
name weightInKG heightInCM
You will read the name, weight and height for 4 people from the file, and you will need to convert the weights in the file to pounds (note that 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds) and the heights to inches (2.54 cm = 1 inch).
The program should display the person's name along with the calculated BMI and a message indicating whether the person has optimal weight, is underweight, or is overweight.
Your output should look like
A person’s weight…

Otherwise, if the user chooses to display the student initials, the contents of the students.txt file should be read, and just the student number and initials should be displayed to the user in a tabular format. If the user chooses to display the student GPAs, the contents of the students.txt file should be read, and just the student number and GPAs should be displayed to the user in a tabular format. If the user chooses to add students, they should be prompted for the number of studnets they’d like to add.
