Basic Python Test

The document outlines two programming tasks involving file handling in Python. The first task requires reading student grades from a file, calculating their average scores, and writing the results to a new file. The second task involves counting word frequencies from a text file and saving the results in a separate file, both with specific formatting requirements.

BASIC PYTHON TEST

You are given a text file grades.txt where each line contains a student's name and their scores in
multiple subjects, separated by commas.
Example file content:

Alice,88,76,92

Bob,90,85,79

Charlie,95,80,85

Task:

• Read the file and store the data in a dictionary where the key is the student's name, and the
value is a list of their scores.

• Write a function calculate_average(grades: list) -> float to calculate the average.

• Display each student’s name along with their average score.

Bonus:

• Write the result to a new file averages.txt in this format:

Alice: 85.33

Bob: 84.67

Charlie: 86.67

Question 2: Word Frequency Counter

Problem Statement:

Write a program that reads a text file input.txt and calculates the frequency of each word in the file.

Task:

• Use a dictionary to count how many times each word appears (ignore punctuation and case).

• Use a function get_word_frequency(filename: str) -> dict that returns the frequency
dictionary.

• Sort and print the top 5 most frequent words.

Bonus:

• Save the frequency dictionary into a new file frequency.txt in descending order.
