Question

import time
f=open("City_of_Seattle_Wage_Data_20240329.csv","r")#You guys don't need download this file,just assume this is a list
like this:
hourly=[55,44.3,67,98,101,120,130,190,120.4]
line=f.readlines()
hourly=[]
for i in range(1,len(line)):
#Split the readlines data, use ','
line1 = line[i].split(",")
hourly.append(float(line1[-1]))
x=[]
#This part is hardest part I can't solve
ask user a number
user=int(input("How many terms u want"))
user's number is the liner search number, if the user asks 5, then gets 5 biggest number
if user enter n, then get n biggest numbers, then append to the empty list x
for user in hourly:
if hourly[0]>hourly[user]:
x.append[user]
print(x)

Andybirdgirl ,

Please change your title to something that encapsulates the problem, so it's searchable. Begging is unnecessary and lacks info.

It would be easier to run your code if you saved it and shared the link.

It's kind of hard to tell what you're trying to do.

Without running it, I do see a few things.

You never closed the file. To not have to worry about that, learn the with keyword.

f.readlines() returns a list of str, which would use 0-based indexing, but you start your range at 1, meaning you skip the first line. Is that because it has a header line with column names you don't need? Also, it's unclear if the file is supposed to contain one line of comma-separated floats or multiple lines of cs floats.

I believe hourly will end up only containing the last float from each line, but if you're later trying to find the max, wouldn't you want all the floats of all the lines?

etc.

It seems like you are attempting to implement a program that reads from a CSV file and extracts the highest n values from a list of hourly wages. There are some issues in your code that need to be corrected. Here's an updated version that should achieve what you described attached below.

This code snippet:

1. Reads the hourly wage data from the CSV file.
2. Extracts the hourly wage values from the lines read from the file.
3. Asks the user for a number or 'n' to get all the highest hourly wages.
4. Finds the highest n hourly wages in the list.
5. Prints the list of top hourly wages.

Make sure to replace the placeholder CSV file name with your actual CSV file name.

Answer 4

Andybirdgirl This code snippet I attached below reads the hourly wages from the CSV file, sorts them using the selection sort algorithm, and then prints the n highest hourly wages based on user input. Coding is fun, enjoy ma'am!
