Question

Pendant Publishing edits multi-volume manuscripts for many authors. For each volume, they want a label that contains the author's name, the title of the work, and a volume number in the form Volume 9 of 9. For example, a set of three volumes requires three labels: Volume 1 of 3, Volume 2 of 3, and Volume 3 of 3. Design an application that reads records that contain an author's name, the title of the work, and the number of volumes. The application must read the records until eof is encountered and produce enough labels for each work.

Answer 1

Code:

datafile: data.txt

Output:

Code:

with open("data.txt") as f:    # opeaning file
   lines = f.readlines()   #   reading lines from file as a list. Each element in list is a line.
# this will read file till EOF

lines = [x.strip() for x in lines]   # removing leading and trailing spaces from lines

for line in lines:
   if(line == ''):
       continue   # to couter empty lines
   content = line.split(',')   # seperating Author Name, Title, Volume number and storing it in a list
   AuthName = content[0].strip()   # removing leading and trailing spaces from word
   Title = content[1].strip()       # removing leading and trailing spaces from word
   NoOfVol = int(content[2].strip())# removing leading and trailing spaces from word and converting to integer

   for i in range(1, NoOfVol+1):   # printing in desired format
       print("Author Name: {0} Title: {1} Volume: {2} of {3} ".format(AuthName, Title, i, NoOfVol))
       # loop to print all number of volumes .
