Unfortunately, we can't give too much specific help on your particular problem because it's homework.
You should use the knowledge you learned in your introductory programming class about designing programs. In particular, give a name to the function or functions your are designing. Be rigorous in the terms you are using when you talk about the problem. Formalize what the types of inputs and outputs are. Probably most importantly, express test cases that will demonstrate what you want the output to be. And not hand-wavy things, but actual test cases that you can execute. What's the expected result of parsing the first line? That is, you're saying that the string: "1,3,5,0.03" has some kind of meaning that can be parsed. Can you express this meaning as a data structure? Can you give that data structure a name? Can you write a unit test that can test that your parser is behaving properly? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
