An instructor gives a series of exams during the semester in her math class. At the end of the semester she drops each student's lowest test score before averaging the scores. She has asked you to design a program that will read a student's test scores as input and calculate the average with the lowest score dropped. Here is the algorithm that you developed: Get the student's test scores. Calculate the total of the scores. Find the lowest score. Subtract the lowest score from the total. This gives the adjusted total. Divide the adjusted total by 1 less than the number of test scores. This is the adjusted average. Display the average. The test scores are in a text file named scores.txt and contains the following: Mickey, 71.0, 42.0, 83.0 Donald, 94.0, 73.0, 72.0, 81.0 Minnie, 95.0, 85.0, 45.0, 55.0, 65.0 A sample run is as follows: Enter a file containing floating point numbers: scores.txt Test scores for Mickey: ['71.0', '42.0', '83.0'] Removed the lowest score of 42.0 for Mickey The…
Write a program that reads from the user a character ('q' or 'c'). If the character is 'c', the program reads from the user the radius rof a circle and prints its area. • If the user enters 'q', the program asks the user to enter the length and width of a quadrilateral. We assume the quadrilateral is either a square or rectangle. You should print if the quadrilateral is square or rectangle. • Otherwise, it prints "Wrong character" PS: Use the following formulas: area of circle=3.14*r Sample Run1: Enter a character (q or c): q Enter the Length and Width: 80 150 |It is a rectangle Sample Run2: Enter a character (q or c): q Enter the Length and Width: 80 80 It is a square Sample Run3: Enter a character (q or c): c Enter the radius: 2 The area of the circle is 12.56 Sample Run4: Enter a character (q or c): d Wrong character
