see explaination for program code

Step-by-step explanation:

Code below:

#!/usr/local/bin/python3

def main():

correct_ans = compareAnswers()

print('Correct answers are: %d' % correct_ans)

def compareAnswers():

# reads the content of file correct_answer.dat and student_answer.dat

correct_ans = open('correct_answer.dat')

stud_ans = open('student_answer.dat')

# adding correct answers to the list

c_ans = list()

for each_ans in correct_ans:

c_ans.append(each_ans)

# verifying how many answers are correct

i = 0

cnt_correct_ans = 0

for each_ans in stud_ans:

if each_ans == c_ans[i]:

cnt_correct_ans += 1

i += 1

return cnt_correct_ans

if __name__=='__main__':

main()
