Write a program that receives a filename as user input. The file is structured as multiple lines containing numbers separated by a single space. For example, this would be an acceptable file: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 2 Your program should open this file and: print all its contents; write the median of all numbers to a new file called result.txt. IMPORTANT NOTES: the median is the element in the middle when you sort the values; the median of values (2, 1, 3) is 2, because when you sort them, you get 1, 2, 3, and 2 is the value in the middle. you can assume there will be no empty lines; there might be any arbitrary number lines in the file; there might be any arbitrary number of elements in a single line; you can assume there will always be an odd number of elements. Example 1: If input is: file1.txt and the contents of file1.txt are: 1 2 2 you should first print the content, and then write 2 to result.txt. Example 2: If input is: file2.txt and the contents of file2.txt are: 1 2 3 4 5 1 7 you should first print the content, and then write 3 to result.txt. The elements sorted are: 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7. In this sequence, 3 is the middle value, so it is the median.

Question

Write a program that receives a filename as user input. The file is structured as multiple lines containing numbers separated by a single space.
For example, this would be an acceptable file:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 2

Your program should open this file and:

  1. print all its contents;
  2. write the median of all numbers to a new file called result.txt.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • the median is the element in the middle when you sort the values;
    • the median of values (2, 1, 3) is 2, because when you sort them, you get 1, 2, 3, and 2 is the value in the middle.
  • you can assume there will be no empty lines;
  • there might be any arbitrary number lines in the file;
  • there might be any arbitrary number of elements in a single line;
  • you can assume there will always be an odd number of elements.

Example 1:

If input is:

file1.txt

and the contents of file1.txt are:

1 2 2

you should first print the content, and then write 2 to result.txt.

Example 2:

If input is:

file2.txt

and the contents of file2.txt are:

1 2 3 4 5 1 7

you should first print the content, and then write 3 to result.txt.
The elements sorted are: 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7. In this sequence, 3 is the middle value, so it is the median.
