- Write code that does the following: opens an output file with the filename number_list.txt, uses a loop to write the numbers 1 through 100 to the file, and then closes the file.arrow_forward*Code in python Write a program that allows the user to navigate the lines of text in a file. The program should prompt the user for a filename and input the lines of text into a list. The program then enters a loop in which it prints the number of lines in the file and prompts the user for a line number. Actual line numbers range from 1 to the number of lines in the file. If the input is 0, the program quits. Otherwise, the program prints the line associated with that number. An example file and the program input and output is shown below: example.txt Line 1.Line 2.Line 3. Enter the input file name: example.txt The file has 3 lines. Enter a line number [0 to quit]: 2 2 : Line 2. The file has 3 lines. Enter a line number [0 to quit]: 4 ERROR: line number must be less than 3. The file has 3 lines.

The program will ask for the user to enter file name of the text file. The program will read each line of numbers, use the split() function to put the numbers in lists. For each line of numbers, the program will calculate the total of the numbers, the average value, the smallest number, and the largest number. For each line of numbers, it will then display each number, the total, average, smallest number, and the largest number. The numbers are in a text file named numbers.txt and contains the following: 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 4.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0arrow_forward
