INFO 101 – Homework 3
There are two parts to this assignment: one asks you to find information in a file and the other asks to find information online
FILE
- Use one of two files in D2l Content: milk_production_csv.csv or milk_production_xls.xls
- Open and read the file to find this information:
- The difference in the production numbers in South Dakota for 1972 and 1982
- Find the average of all the amounts in the Delta States.
- Find and print the three lowest numbers in Georgia.
- Graph the results from Georgia. Use your choice of a line graph, bar graph, or pie chart.
WEB
- Open the website that gives access to ebooks. The url will be in this format: http://www.gutenberg.org/2000/2000.txt The number 2000 is the place where the actual number of the book is located. Search through the site looking for book numbers. When you find a valid book, print the first 300 characters.
Since you don’t know what the valid book numbers are, you could use random numbers for the book numbers. If you do not find a book with a certain random number, you could do one of two things: not print anything or print a message that that number is not valid.
Ask the user how many books they want to look for. Supply that many random numbers. As an example, if you search for five books and you find three non-valid numbers, ignore the three and make sure you find five that you wanted.
Both parts can be in one program. Use any tools you need to find your information (loops, if statements, functions, modules, Pandas, Numpy).
