Chapter 10, Problem 4P
The Social Security Administration maintains an actuarial life table that contains the probability that a person in the United States will die (http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/STATS/table4c6.html). The death probabilities from this table for 2009 are stored in the file LifeDeathProbability.txt that is included with the book’s source code. There are three values for each row the age, death probability for a male, and death probability for a female. For example, the first five lines are:
0 0.006990 0.005728
1 0.000447 0.000373
2 0.000301 0.000241
3 0.000233 0.000186
4 0.000177 0.000150
This says that a 3-year-old female has a 0 000186 chance of dying that year

Write a program that reads student information from a text file, then creates a text file that records the course grades of the students and a final grade. Each row of the .txt file contains the Last Name, First Name, Midterm1 score, Midterm2 score, and the Final score of a student, each separated by a space. A sample of the student information is provided in StudentInfo.txt below. Assume the number of students is at least 1 and at most 20.
The program performs the following tasks:
• Read the file name of the .txt file from the user.
• Open the .txt file and read the student information using readline() or readlines().
• Compute the average exam score of each student.
• Assign a letter grade to each student based on the average exam score in the following scale:
◦ A: 90 =< x
◦ B: 80 =< x < 90
◦ C: 70 =< x < 80
◦ D: 60 =< x < 70
◦ F: x < 60
• Output the first names, last names, exam scores, and letter…
Computer Science
For each of the code snippet given below, identify the error and then write code after fixing the error.
Given code is the simulation of grep -v command. -v prints all lines that do not match a specific
pattern.
void grep_inverse(char *filename, char *str)
{
FILE *fp;
char buf[buff_size];
fp = fopen(filename, "r");
if(!fp) {
perror(filename);
}
else {
while (fgets(buf, buff_size, fp) != NULL) {
if ((strstr (buf, str)) != NULL)
printf("%s", buf);
}
}
fclose(fp);
}
#program should be written in python with comments.
Write a program that uses a dictionary to assign “codes” to each letter of the alphabet.
For example:codes = { ‘A’ : ‘%’, ‘a’ : ‘9’, ‘B’ : ‘@’, ‘b’ : ‘#’, etc . . .}Using this example, the letter A would be assigned the symbol %, the letter a would be assigned the number 9, the letter B would be assigned the symbol @, and so forth.
The program should open a specified text file, read its contents, then use the dictionary to write an encrypted version of the file’s contents to a second file. Each character in the second file should contain the code for the corresponding character in the first file.
Write a second program that opens an encrypted file and displays its decrypted contents on the screen.
