hi guys can anyone explain to me this code. i dont really get this. thanks a lot.
def readFile(name = ""):
try:
assert (name != "") , "The file name is not given!!"
except AssertionError:
print "file name is not given"
else:
try:
f = open(name, 'r')
except:
print 'File not found!'
else:
lines = f.readlines()
return lines
def fixNewline(lines):
newList = []
for line in lines:
line = line.replace("\n", "")
newList.append(line)
return newList
def converttoMatrix(lines):
matrix = []
for row in lines:
elements = row.split('\t')
rowToAppend = []
for element in elements:
rowToAppend.append(int(element))
matrix.append(rowToAppend)
return matrix
#to find the max value
def findmaxvalue(matrix):
maxvalue = 0
for row in matrix:
print row
for col in row:
print col
maxvalue = max(col,maxvalue)
return maxvalue
#to find the min value
def findminvalue(matrix):
minvalue = 0
for row in matrix:
#print row
for col in row:
#print col
minvalue = min(col,minvalue)
return minvalue
if __name__ == '__main__':
readFile()
readFile("")
readFile("xzy")
those inside the define statement are indented for some reason this would not allow me to indent. thanks for your help.
