Question

can anyone over here help me with python programming? im trying to write a code to read a txt file

Answer 1

What do you have written so far?
```
fo = open("foo.txt", "wb")
```

Answer 2

well i have been given a skeleton file

Answer 3

implement the function read_graph_from_file. The function is called with one argument (the name of a file), and must return a tuple with two elements, like this:

(neighbour_list, position_list) = read_graph_from_file(filename)
The first element in the tuple, neighbour_list, is the internal representation of the graph's structure. (This is defined below.) The second element is a list of node positions. This is only used for drawing the graph on screen.

Answer 4

this is what im ment to be doing

Answer 5

so far i have written:
def read_graph_from_file(filename):
my_file=open(filename,"rU")
position_list=[]

for row in my_file:
value=row[:-1]
my_list=value.split(",")

try:
if my_list[2] != "":
nodenumber = my_list[0]
positionX = my_list[1]
positionY = my_list[2]
position_list = tuple([positionX,positionY])
except IndexError:
pass


return([position_list])
(neighbour_list, position_list) = read_graph_from_file(filename)

Answer 6

the code i have written so far is to find the position of the mode on the graph

Answer 7

The format of the graph files is similar to the CSV files we have seen before, but different in that it contains two types of lines. For a graph with N nodes and M links, the first N lines have the form

nodeNumber, positionX, positionY
The nodes are numbered consecutively from 0 to N-1. The X and Y positions are integers.

After this, the next M lines specify the links. They have the form

nodeNumber1,nodeNumber2

Answer 8

tbh I know no python and prefer c++/java. I doubt I'll be of much help

Answer 9

Yeah I have no idea what I'm reading. Check out the computer science section
