Write a program that prompts for a file name, then opens that file and reads through the file, looking for lines of the form:X-DSPAM-Confidence: 0.8475Count these lines and extract the floating point values from each of the lines and compute the average of those values and produce an output as shown below. Do not use the sum() function or a variable named sum in your solution.

Solution

Here is a Python program that accomplishes the task:

# Prompt for a file name
fname = input("Enter file name: ")

# Initialize count and total
count = 0
total = 0

# Open the file
with open(fname) as f:
    for line in f:
        if line.startswith("X-DSPAM-Confidence:"):
            count += 1
            total += float(line.split(":")[1].strip())

# Compute the average
average = total / count

# Print the average
print("Average spam confidence:", average)

This program works by first prompting the user for a file name. It then opens the file and reads through it line by line. If a line starts with "X-DSPAM-Confidence:", it increments a count and adds the floating point number following the colon to a running total. After all lines have been processed, it computes the average by dividing the total by the count and prints the result.

In this assignment you will read through and parse a file with text and numbers. You will extract all the numbers in the file and compute the sum of the numbers.

In Statistics, Mean (average) is a common term used to analyze the data. Thus, we should know how to program this Statistical term using Python. For this, write a Python program to calculate the sum and average (Mean) of n integer numbers (input from the user). Input 0 to finish the list.Sample:Input some integers to calculate their sum and average. Input 0 to exit .1516120Average and Sum of the above numbers are: 14.333333333333334 43.0
