Problem #1
- Write a program called hw9a.py that outputs average length of the presidency of US presidents, categorized by party. Your program should get the information from a file called presidents.txt, whose contents is available here
- The output of your program should look something like this:
Average length of presidency. 44 presidents Democratic presidents: x.xx years Republican presidents: x.xx years Others: x.xx years
- The number of presidents (44) should be the number found by your program in the text file. When I test your program, I may provide a presidents.txt file with fewer than 44. Or with no presidents at all! Be sure you test your program well!
- Submit your program as follows:
rsubmit hw7 hw7a.py
