Question

The Payroll Department keeps a list of employee information for each pay period in a text file. The format of each line of the file is the following: Write a program that inputs a filename from the user and prints to the terminal a report of the wages paid to the employees for the given period. The report should be in tabular format with the appropriate header. Each line should contain: An employee’s name The hours worked The wages paid for that period.

An example of the program input and output is shown below:

Enter the file name: data.txt Name Hours Total Pay Lambert 34 357.00 Osborne 22 137.50 Giacometti 5 503.50

It has this information in the data.txt page and I need any additional information for this page and the payroll.py page.

Lambert 34 10.50
Osborne 22 6.25
Giacometti 5 100.70

We are using the newest form of python which I believe is 3.

Answer 1

If you have any doubts, please give me comment...

Code:

fname = input("Enter the file name: ")

fp = open(fname, "r")

print("Name Hours Total Pay")

for line in fp.readlines():

cols = line.strip().split()

print("%s %d %.2f"%(cols[0],int(cols[1]),int(cols[1])*float(cols[2])))

fp.close()
