So I have a question that requires this The features : color,size,flesh and class are separated by spaces. Write a Python program that asks the user for the names of the input file (in this case animals.txt) and the output file (any name). The program reads in the lines of the input file, ignores comment lines (lines starting with #) and blank lines and computes and prints the answers to the following questions: Total number of animals? Total number of dangerous animals? Number of large animals that are safe? Number of animals that are brown and dangerous? Number of safe animals with red color or hard flesh?
So I finished the program and everything seems to be working but so far when I enter the code and initiate the program, everything works, no errors, nothing but no output file gets generated. I don't know what is wrong exactly but if someone could point me in the right direction it would be highly appreciated.
import os.path
endofprogram = False
try:
filename1 = input("Enter the name of input file: ")
filename2 = input("Enter the name of output file: ")
while os.path.isfile(filename2):
filename2 = input("File Exists! Enter new name for output file: ")
infile = open(filename1, 'r')
ofile = open(filename2, "w")
except IOError:
print("Error reading file! Program ends here")
endofprogram = True
if (endofprogram == False):
alist = []
blist = []
clist = []
largesafe = 0
dangerous = 0
browndangerous = 0
redhard = 0
for line in infile:
line = line.strip("\n")
if (line != " ") and (line[0] != "#"):
colour, size, flesh, clas = line.split('\t')
alist = alist.append(colour)
animals = alist.count()
while clas == "dangerous":
dangerous = dangerous + 1
while size == "large" and clas == "safe":
largesafe = largesafe + 1
while colour == "brown" and clas == "dangerous":
browndangerous = browndangerous + 1
while colour == "red" and flesh == "hard":
redhard = redhard + 1
ofile.write(print("Animals = \n", animals))
ofile.write(print("Dangerous = \n", dangerous))
ofile.write(print("Brown and dangerous = \n", browndangerous))
ofile.write(print("Large and safe = \n", largesafe))
ofile.write(print("Safe and red color or hard flesh= \n", redhard))
infile.close()
ofile.close()
