Given a data file, find the max, min, and average values of columns. Also, create an addition column that is based on the other columns. There will be no error checking required for this lab. You are provided with a data file named (surprise!) data .txt. Data is arranged in columns where each item of data is twelve columns wide (so it is easy to extract data items using slicing) Your task is read the file data. txt and calculate the max, min, and average of the height and weight columns and to add an additional column that has the BMI calculated based on each height and weight. Your output will look like this (and needs to be formatted like this). To match the testing on Mirmir here is the format string: The formula for BMI is simple in the metric system:BMI = weight/height ** 2 How do we find the max and min? The basic concept is similar to counting that you have done multiple times:initialize a value before a loop and the update the value every time through the loop. Based on that concept here is the algorithm to find the minimum of a set of values: 1. Initialize minimum to be much larger than any data value in your data, e. g. 10**6. 2. When you consider each data item, if the data item is smaller than the current minimum, you have a new minimum (so update it). 3. After considering all data items your minimum will contain the smallest. The algorithm to find the maximum is a tiny variation. To find the average, add up all the values and count how many values there are. Divide those two to get the average. 1. Begin by simply opening the file and printing every line - now you know that you are correctly working with the correct file. 2. Next ignore the header line-use either readline () before the loop or continue in the loop. 3. Next find the average of a column:collect a total and count, remembering to initialize before the loop. 4. Next find the minimum of a column using the algorithm above. 5. Continue in such small increments to do the remainder of the program. The second task is to w-rite that output to a file. The steps are 1. Open a file for writing, e. g. out file = open ("output. txt", "w") 2. Whenever you print, include the argument file = outfile For example, if you previously had print (x) you will now have print (x, file = outfile) Close the file, e. g. outfile. 3. close () If you forget this step, nothing will be written to the file. Also, dont forget the parentheses.

Write a method named addall that could be placed inside the hashintset class. this method accepts another hashintset as a parameter and adds all elements from that set into the current set, if they are not already present. for example, if a set s1 contains [1, 2, 3] and another set s2 contains [1, 7, 3, 9], the call of s1.addall(s2); would change s1 to store [1, 2, 3, 7, 9] in some order. you are allowed to call methods on your set and/or the other set. do not modify the set passed in. this method should run in o(n) time where n is the number of elements in the parameter set passed in.
