The purpose of this lab is to gain experience with the following:

• operations on specific sequence types, such as lists and tuples
  
• operations for performing input and output on files

You can work on this singly or in pairs, your choice.

Reading and Writing Files

Get a copy of the exercise File Input and Output from the instructor; one per team. 

For this, you'll be developing several scripts. Here's a little advice to consider when working through the exercise:

• For Question #3, use a definite loop (for) with a range. Your script may be as short as 4 lines.
  
• For Model 2, use the Python interpreter run from Terminal
• For filling out the table in Model 3, do the same as with Model 2. Remember that you can describe long output with a single sentence when necessary.
• While filling out the table in Model 3, you'll want to research the string method split, which can be extremely useful
• The program you're asked to write for Question 14 is much easier if you understand split. Test it using this file: names.txt
• Demonstrate your programs to the instructor

Write up the results (cleanly, legibly, and well labeled) and turn in to the instructor.
