[Tutor] File reading-(encoding problems)
Here is my code..try:
data=open('info.txt')
for each_line in data:
try:
(role,line_spoken)=each_line.split(':',1)
print(role,end='')
print(' said: ',end='')
print(line_spoken,end='')
except ValueError:
print(each_line)
data.close()
except IOError:
print("File is missing")The actual output is
Man said: Is this the right room for an argument?
Other Man said: I've told you once.
Man said: No you haven't!
Other Man said: Yes I have.The characters "" got added to the contents of
my file in the beginning. Later identified it as a encoding problem. I cleared
the problem by adding the encoding arguments when opening the file(
data=open('info.txt',encoding='utf-8-sig')).Now my question is each time do I
have to make this change or is there away to make this encoding a default one?

[Tutor] Difference between rounding off and typecasting to int
Hii everyone, Today i was just solving a problem in hacker-rank. A simple one
to calculate the tip and tax for the meal. The resultant answer should be
rounded off. I first wrote the code as below:
m=float(input())
x=int(input())
t=int(input())
tip=(m*x)/100
tax=(m*t)/100
total=m+tip+tax
print("The final price of the meal is $",end='')
print(int(total),end='')
print('.')
It passed three test-cases but the last test continued to fail. Then i came to
know that the problem was with rounding off. Then i edited my code to the
following:
m=float(input())
x=int(input())
t=int(input())
tip=(m*x)/100
tax=(m*t)/100
total=m+tip+tax
print("The final price of the meal is $",end='')
print(round(total),end='')
print('.')Finally all test-cases passed. But I can't get to understand what
round() did int() cant't do to the variable total. Can anyone pinpoint the
change. Thank you.
