Write a program that inputs a filename from the user and prints to the terminal a report of the wages paid to the employees for the given period. The report should be in tabular format with the appropriate header. Each line should contain an employee’s name, the hours worked, and the wages paid for that period.

The python source code prompts the user for a file name (file extension included), opens the file and reads the content of the file to the end, one line at a time, and prints it.

Note that the file is closed at the end of the program to avoid leakage.

The program illustrates the use of file manipulation.

File manipulations are used to read from a file, and also write into it.

The program in Python, where comments are used to explain each line is as follows:

#This gets the file name

fname = input('Enter input file name: ')

#This prints the output header

print('Name\t\tHours\t\tTotal Pay')

#This iterates through each line of the file

for line in open(fname):

#This gets the text on the current line

cline = line.strip()

#If the text is not empty,

if cline != '':

#This gets the name, wage and time worked on that line

(name, wage, time) = cline.split()

#This converts the time to integer

time = int(time)

#This calculates the total pay

totalpay = float(wage) * time

#This prints the employee details

print(name,'\t\t', time,'\t\t' totalpay))
