00:00:00,690 --> 00:00:02,290
- [Instructor] For this
self-check exercise,

2
00:00:02,290 --> 00:00:04,930
we'd like you to read in the contents

3
00:00:04,930 --> 00:00:08,450
of the grades.txt file that you created

4
00:00:08,450 --> 00:00:11,440
in the previous self-check exercise.

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,610
So, go ahead and read that in
and display the information

6
00:00:14,610 --> 00:00:19,350
in columns that have the
heads ID, Name, and Grade.

7
00:00:19,350 --> 00:00:21,220
Pause the video to give that a shot.

8
00:00:21,220 --> 00:00:23,123
Then, come back to see the answer.

9
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:29,210
Okay, let's reveal our answer.

10
00:00:29,210 --> 00:00:31,110
And, as you can see once again,

11
00:00:31,110 --> 00:00:33,440
we're creating a with statement here

12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,950
in which we're going to
open the grades.txt file

13
00:00:37,344 --> 00:00:39,450
and we're assuming it's in the same folder

14
00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:41,840
from which we're executing at the moment.

15
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,720
We're going to open that
file for reading this time.

16
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,270
So, we want to get data out of the file.

17
00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:50,240
And, we're going to call
that file object grades

18
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,110
for use inside the with statement.

19
00:00:53,110 --> 00:00:55,940
Next, we display our three column heads

20
00:00:55,940 --> 00:00:58,057
and, in this case, we've
formatted the string

21
00:00:58,057 --> 00:01:01,410
"ID" left-aligned in a field of four,

22
00:01:01,410 --> 00:01:04,380
the string "Name," left-aligned
in a field of seven,

23
00:01:04,380 --> 00:01:08,460
and for the "Grade" we're
simply displaying the word grade

24
00:01:08,460 --> 00:01:10,760
in the last position here.

25
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,380
Then, we have a for loop that's
going to iterate one line

26
00:01:13,380 --> 00:01:16,070
at at a time through
the grades file object.

27
00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:18,200
And, for each of those values, we're going

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,700
to split the string into a list of tokens,

29
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:24,300
a list of strings, and,
within each of our records,

30
00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:26,430
we had written out the stuff previously

31
00:01:26,430 --> 00:01:29,430
as a student ID, a name, and a grade.

32
00:01:29,430 --> 00:01:31,830
So, we're creating variables into which

33
00:01:31,830 --> 00:01:35,520
we'll unpack each split
record of information.

34
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,160
And then, we go ahead and
format a line of text,

35
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,430
including the string "ID"
left-aligned in field of four.

36
00:01:42,430 --> 00:01:44,570
Then, "Name" left-aligned
in a field of seven,

37
00:01:44,570 --> 00:01:47,630
so those will align under
the ID and Name columns.

38
00:01:47,630 --> 00:01:49,720
And then, finally we display the grade

39
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,340
which will appear under the grade heading.

40
00:01:52,340 --> 00:01:54,163
So, let's go ahead and execute that.

41
00:01:56,190 --> 00:02:00,140
And, as you can see, we do
indeed get the three records

42
00:02:00,140 --> 00:02:02,030
of information that we had shown you

43
00:02:02,030 --> 00:02:04,673
in the previous self-check exercise.
