Answer:
```
file = open("trips.txt","r")
file = file.split("\n")
trip_date = []
fuel_used = []
miles_traveled = []
for i in file:
trip_date.append(i.split(", ")[0])
for i in file:
fuel_used.append(i.split(", ")[1])
for i in file:
miles_traveled.append(i.split(", ")[2])
```
This should put the data in their own lists (i didn't test it) but im not going to solve everything for you. The rest is for you to tinker with. You shouldn't throw your question at us and expect an answer. This is the most that I will give you.
Explanation:
No. It is not impossible to understand and make this algorithm a success. It may only take a longer duration to reach success but it does not that it is impossible. Problems may become more difficult to understand and debug but there is enough time, duration, resources and support, the algorithm can be developed.
