    Tasks for Today!
    ▪ Tasks
    ▪ Merge a set of files into a new file
    ▪ Handle coordinate information from a file
    ▪ Handle temperature information from a file
    Task 1 | Merge files
    ▪ Merge a set of input files into a single output file
    ○ All contents in the input files are put into the output file

    Task 1 | Merge files
    ▪ Define a function ‘merge’ with two parameters
    ○ 1st parameter : names of input files ( list of string )
    ○ 2nd parameters : a name of a string output file ( string )
    ○ No output in this function

    ▪ Merge input files by calling the function ‘merge’


    ○ merge ( [“kaist1.txt”, “kaist2.txt”, “kaist3.txt”], “result.txt” )
    ○ merge ( [“kaist1.txt”, “kaist2.txt”], “result.txt” )

    ▪ Use elice_utils.send_file() function


    ○ Then, you can see a link to download the file
    Task 2 | Handle coordinate information
    1. Read and print data from the file ‘average-latitude-longitude-
    countries.csv'
    ○ Each line (except for the head) contains country code, country name,
    latitude and longitude, which are comma-separated
    ■ E.g. “KR”, “Korea, Republic of”, 37, 127.5
    ■ -90.0° ≤ latitude ≤ 90.0°, -180.0° ≤ longitude ≤ 180.0°
    ■ Caution: several country names contain comma.

    ○ Make two lists and print them


    ■ List of tuples → ( country code, country name )
    ■ List of tuples → ( country code, (latitude, longitude) )
    ■ Data type
    - country code, country name → string
    - latitude, longitude → float
    Task 2 | Handle coordinate information
    2. Print the names of all country whose location lies in the south
    of the equator.

    3. Let the user enter a country code, and then print the full name
    of the corresponding country.

    Tip. You can reuse the lists of tuples in task 2-1.


    Then, you don’t need to read the file again.
    Task 3 | Handle temperature information
    ▪ The file (“tpmon.txt”) includes England’s monlty temperatures
    information for the years 1723 ～ 1970

    1. Read the data and print average winter and summer


    temperatures for each year
    ○ Winter average = ( January’s + February’s ) / 2
    ○ Summer average = ( July’s + August’s ) / 2
    ○ Print every year and winter/summer averages
    in a nicely formatted table
    Task 3 | Handle temperature information
    2. Write the contents in another format
    ○ To the file ‘tpmon.csv’
    ○ Each year and its 12 monthly temperatures in one line
    ○ Write in CSV format (i.e. comma-separate the data)
    ○ Try to open the file in Excel
