Define a function below called average_num_in_file. The function takes one argument: the name of a file full of numbers. Complet

e the function so that it opens the file and returns the average of the numbers in the file. Here is an example input file from the static test case if you want to test from the interpreter: canned_file.txt

Answer:

  1. def average_num_in_file(fileName):
  2.    with open(fileName) as file:
  3.        rows = file.readlines()
  4.        sum = 0
  5.        count = 0
  6.        for x in rows:
  7.            sum += float(x)  
  8.            count += 1
  9.        average = sum / count  
  10.    return average  
  11. print(average_num_in_file("cans.txt"))

Explanation:

The solution code is written in Python 3.

Firstly create a function that take one parameter, fileName (Line 1).

Open the file stream and use readlines method to read the data from the file (Line 2-3). Create variable sum and count to tract the total of the number from text files and number of data from the file (Line 5-6). Use a for loop to loop over each row of the read data and add the current value of each row to sum and increment the count by one (Line 7-9).

After the loop, calculate the average (Line 11) and return the result (Line 12).

At last, we can test the function by passing the cans.txt as argument (Line 14).

N76 [4]

Answer:

Following are the code to this question:

//import package

import java.util.*;  

public class Full_XmasTree   //defining class

{        

// defining main method

public static void main(String as[])  

   {  

       int X,a,b; //defining integer variable

       Scanner obx = new Scanner(System.in); // creating Scanner class object

       System.out.print("Please enter: "); //print message

       X = obx.nextInt(); // input value from user

       for (a = 0; a < X; a++) //defining loop to print pattern  

       {

           for (b = X - a; b > 1; b--)//use loop for print white space  

           {

           System.out.print(" ");//print space

           }

           for (b = 0; b <= a; b++) // use loop to print values  

           {

               System.out.print("* "); //print asterisk values

           }

           System.out.println(); //using print method for new line

       }

   }

}

Output:

please find the attachment.

Explanation:

In the given java code, a class "Full_XmasTree" is declared, in which the main method is declared, inside this method three integer variable "X, a, and b", in this variables "a and b" is used in a loop, and variable X is used for user input.

  • In the next line, the Scanner class object is created, which takes input in variable X, and for loop is used to print asterisk triangle.
  • In the first for loop, use variable a to count from user input value, inside the loop, two for loop is used, in which first is used to print white space and second is used for the print pattern.
