I was wondering if I can get also get help with the continuation of this exercise:

It stated if I can make another python program that reads the random numbers from the file made from the exercise above then, display the numbers, and then display the following data:

The total of the numbers

The number of random numbers read from the file

Thanks again

Explanation / Answer

#Using python2

#save both programs as separate files, in the same folder; then run each one after the other

#Random Number File Writer

import random

n=input("Enter number of random numbers to generate:")

n2=int(n)

a_file=open('randomNumbers.txt','w')

for i in range(0,n2):

s=random.randint(1,100)

s2=str(s)+" "

a_file.write(s2)

a_file.close()

#Random Number File Reader

n=0

sum=0

a_file=open('randomNumbers.txt')

for a_line in a_file:

s=a_line.strip().split()

n=n+len(s)

for num in s:

print(num)

sum=sum+int(num)

a_file.close()

print("The total of the numbers is: "+str(sum))

print("The number of random numbers read from the file is: "+str(n))
