Question

Suppose ABC University has decided not to take an admission test for their undergraduate academic programs for the next semester. The students will be selected for admission based on their SSC, HSC GPA, and A level, O level GPA in case of English Medium students. They have stored all the applicants' data in a txt file called student_data.txt. Now the Admission Committee wants some analysis to be performed on this data. These analyses include - finding the distinct combined GPAs (SSC/O level + HSC/A level GPA), finding the students' information holding that GPA, finding distinct SSC/O Level GPA and respective students, and lastly finding distinct HSC/A level GPA and respective students. The Committee also wants this information to be stored in separate txt files on top of appending them to the main student_data.txt file. Your task is to implement the requirements of the Admission Committee. You will be provided with the student_data.txt file holding the information of seven (07) students. After performing the above-mentioned analyses, you will store the results in 3 different txt files – total_gpa_analysis.txt, ssc_gpa_analysis.txt, hsc_gpa_analysis.txt. You will also append the results in the student_data.txt file.

Answer 1

The task involves analyzing GPA data from a text file and storing distinct GPA values and associated student information. Separate analysis results will be saved in text files and appended to the original file to aid the Admission Committee's decision-making process.

Step-by-step explanation:

In response to ABC University's request, the following tasks must be completed using the provided student_data.txt file:

• Determine distinct combined GPAs (SSC/O Level + HSC/A Level GPA).
• Find the student information corresponding to each of the distinct combined GPAs.
• Identify distinct SSC/O Level GPAs and the students with these GPAs.
• Identify distinct HSC/A Level GPAs and the students with these GPAs.
• Store these analyses in separate text files named total_gpa_analysis.txt, ssc_gpa_analysis.txt, and hsc_gpa_analysis.txt.
• Append the results of these analyses to the original student_data.txt file.

This analysis will assist the Admission Committee in making informed decisions based on the GPA data without the need for an admission test.
