File Operations:Write a complete program that reads integers from a file called numbers.txt, and displays their sum on the screen.
Example:
If the content of numbers.txt is: 10 20 30 100
The program should print: 160
Random Number File Writer
Write a program that writes a series of random numbers to a file. Each random number should be in the range of 1 through 500. The application should let the user specify how many random numbers the file will hold.
* Please use the Python program.
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…
