Sorted List of 1994 Gas Prices
Note: This assignment can be done either as an enhancement to the program that you wrote for
In the student sample programs for this book, you will find a text file named 1994_Weekly_Gas_Averages.txt. The file contains the average gas price for each week in the year 1994, (There are 52 lines in the file. Line 1 contains the average price for week 1, line 2 contains the average price for week 2, and so forth.) Write a program that reads the gas prices from the file, and calculates the average gas price for each month. (To get the average price for a given month, calculate the average of the average weekly prices for that month.) Then, the program should create another file that lists the names of the months, along with each month’s average gas price, sorted from lowest to highest.

Cargo Container Report.
You will be producing a program which will allow the user to generate the container report on the following page in
Container Number order or Ship Name order. The program will also the user to lookup the data for any given Container
by number. The % cargo weight is the percentage of the cargo of the gross weight (cargo weight/gross weight), % total
is the percentage of the cargo for that container of the total amount of cargo unloaded (cargo weight for the container /
total cargo unloaded. Hint: you are expected to use methods for your calculations.
The accompanying file has the data for the containers unloaded today. The data includes
container number int
ship name. String
tare weight of the container (empty weight) int
the gross weight (container plus the cargo). Int
You will need to computer the cargo weight as the gross weight minus the tare weight.
If you have issues reading the data with the String, you may remove the String. However, you will lose points.…
File names: color_square.py, chessboard.py, test_squares.py
Positions on a chess board are identified by a letter and a number. The letter identifies the column; the number identifies the row. See the image below.
You will provide the functions that allow us to determine:
if a chessboard square is either black or white, given its coordinates.
If the row/column is valid or not for the standard chessboard
For example, if we pass in “d” for the column and 4 for the row, your function that determines color should return the string: “BLACK”. If we pass in "k" for the column to your function that validates columns, that function should return the boolean False.
Requirements:
Your function for validating the column should be able to accept upper or lowercase strings as parameters.
Your functions for validating the row should be able to accept integers or strings as parameters.
Your function that determines black-or-white may assume that the input has been validated prior to us calling…
Assignment 5C: Level Map Creator. There are a variety of ways that game developers store
their level layouts. One simple method is to associate level elements with certain symbols, and
then storing them in a 2D grid inside a text file. We will use our knowledge of 2D arrays to
create a very simple Level Map Creator tool.
The program should prompt the user to enter a width and height for the level. Then it should
initialize a 2D array and fill every element with the "*" symbol. Afterwards, the user should be
given the following options via a menu:
1. Clear Level
Re-initialize the 2D array and fill every element with the "*" symbol.
2. Add Platform
Prompt the user to enter a starting point and length for the
horizontal platform. Replace those elements in the 2D array with
the "=" symbol. If the length is longer than the number of columns
(or out of bounds), notify the user that this is not possible.
3. Add Item
Prompt the user to enter a column and row index. Replace that
element in the…

- b. ID: A Name: 0. A summer camp offers a morning session and an afternoon session. The list morningList contains the names of all children attending the morning session, and the list afternoonList contains the names of all children attending the afternoon session. Only children who attend both sessions eat lunch at the camp. The camp director wants to create lunchList, which will contain the names of children attending both sessions. The following code segment is intended to create lunchList, which is initially empty.

This required us to have two separate variables, which we used to record the number of heads and tails. Now that we know about arrays, we can track the frequency of all numbers in a randomly generated sequence. For this program, you will ask the user to provide a range of values (from 1 to that number, inclusive) and how long of a number sequence you want to generate using that number range. You will then generate and save the sequence in an array. After that, you will count the number of times each number occurs in the sequence, and print the frequency of each number. Hints: You can use multiple arrays for this assignment. One array should hold the number sequence, and another could keep track of the frequencies of each number. Sample Output #1: What's the highest number you want to generate?: 5 How Long of a number sequence do you want to generate?: 10 Okay, we'll generate 10…arrow_forwardAssignment 5C: Level Map Creator.

- get_column_choice(): this function will allow us to ask the players which pocket they want to grab stones from. Since we know which row they are grabbing from (since it is not allowed to grab stones from your opponent’s side), we only need to get the column they want. As previously stated, we are using letters to represent the columns to make it easier on the player. This function accepts the current player (should be a 0 or 1), the board, and a list of letters (the same as the list you passed to the print_game_board function) and it will return the index of the column being chosen. The function should ask the player to enter a column letter, then it should check that the conditions listed below hold. If they don’t meet these conditions, it should ask again until it gets a valid letter, otherwise it should return the corresponding column index for that letter. Letter entered must be on the game board. It can be lower case or upper case. (Hint: this doesn’t need to be hard coded,…arrow_forwardpls help me databastearrow_forward$aprintarrow_forward
