This is a lab exercise that involves writing a function that works with files and dictionaries. It should be helpful for understanding Program 3. I want you to work on this lab individually, not in pairs.
Write a function called scoreData that takes the name
of a file as its input parameter. Each line of this file will
contain a name (with no spaces) followed by a space, followed by a
number. You should store this data in a dictionary where the key is
the name and the value is a list of all the numbers
associated with that name. When all the data is stored in the
dictionary, you should calculate and print out a table with each
name (in alphabetical order) on a line with the max, min and median
values from the list associated with that name. You are welcome to
cut and paste code from class for calculating the median.
For example, given an input file (available
as lab10.txt) containing:
your program should print the output:
Jane 47
Joe 48
Bob 37
Bob 44
Jane 45
Jane 49
Name Max Min Median
Bob 44 37 40.5
Jane 49 45 47
Joe 48 48 48
When you are convinced that your function is correct, well-documented and your name is in the file, you should upload your source code choosing Lab 10 as the assignment.
