Alright, so my assignment is to take a text file, that would have 4 entries per line, those bein
import os.path
import sys
#fileQuestion = input("What is the name of your file?: ")
fileQuestion = "Testfile.txt"
heading1 = "{0:15s}{1:15s}{2:10s}{3:15s}{4:20s}{5:15s}".format("First Name", "Last Name", "Hours", "Payrate", "Overtime Hours", "Gross Pay")
heading2= "=============================================================================================================="
print(heading1)
print(heading2)
if os.path.isfile(fileQuestion) == True:
file_handle = open(fileQuestion, 'r')
#file = open('emps', 'r')
#data = file.readlines() I would't go for readline here
#file_handle2 = open('outupt.txt')
total_gross_pay = 0
number_of_employees = 0
average_gross_pay = 0
total_overtime = 0
standard_working_hours = 40
for i in file_handle:
data = i.rstrip().lstrip().split()
#print (data)
first_name, last_name, hours, payrate = data
hours = int(hours)
payrate = int(payrate)
basic_pay = hours * payrate
if(hours > standard_working_hours):
overtime = hours - standard_working_hours
overtime_premium = overtime * payrate
gross_pay = overtime_premium + basic_pay
else:
overtime = 0
gross_pay = basic_pay
total_overtime += overtime
total_gross_pay += gross_pay
number_of_employees += 1
print("{0:15s}{1:15s}{2:10s}{3:15s}{4:20s}{5:15s}".format(first_name, last_name, str(hours), str(payrate), str(overtime), str(gross_pay)))
print('\n')
print("Total Gross Pay: ",total_gross_pay)
print("Average Gross Pay: ",total_gross_pay/number_of_employees)
print("Total overtime: ",total_overtime)
