Reading simple text files

Exercise 1

Create a text file bigbang.txt in a text editor, containing the following data:

Emily,F,12562
Amy,F,2178
Penny,F,342
Bernadette,F,129
Leonard,M,384
Howard,M,208
Sheldon,M,164
Stuart,M,82
Raj,M,41

Exercise 1:

Make the program work by inserting close, line, bigbang.txt, print into the gaps.

f = open(___)
for ____ in f:
    ____(line)
f.____()

Hint:

Depending on your editor, you may need to insert the complete path to the file. If the program does not work, a wrong file name or location are the most probable reasons.

Exercise 3

How many different girls names were there in 2015?

Sort the following code lines and indent them correctly:

girls = 0

if "B" in line:

print(girls)

if ",F," in line:

for line in open('names/yob2015.txt'):

girls += 1

Exercise 4

Extend the program from the previous exercise such that boys and girls names are counted separately.
