6) Display the SHI data read from the file in the interpreter with a
border around the SHI data (include a buffer of 1 line/space between the
border and SHI data). An example might look like:
***********************
* *
* First Name and Last *
* ENGR 109-X *
* Fall 2999 *
* Format Example *
* *
***********************
I'm not a Python programmer, but I'll have a go at the text formatting bit:
text=["First Name and Last","ENGR 109-X","Fall 2999","Format Example"]
maxwidth=0
for s in text:
if len(s)>maxwidth: maxwidth=len(s)
vertinchlines=6 # assume 6 lines/inch
hozinchchars=10 # assume 10 chars/inch
hozmargin=" "*hozinchchars
newtext=[]
for i in range(vertinchlines):
newtext.append("")
newtext.append(hozmargin+"*"*(maxwidth+4)+hozmargin)
newtext.append(hozmargin+"* "+" "*maxwidth+" *"+hozmargin)
for s in text:
newtext.append(hozmargin+"* "+s+" "*(maxwidth-len(s))+" *"+hozmargin)
newtext.append(hozmargin+"* "+" "*maxwidth+" *"+hozmargin)
newtext.append(hozmargin+"*"*(maxwidth+4)+hozmargin)
for i in range(vertinchlines):
newtext.append("")
for s in newtext:
print (s)
