Question

In this lab, you will use files that contain lists of names, prefixes, and occupations to generate names for Dungeons and Dragons characters. Write a python program that opens a file, reads all of the lines into a list of strings, and closes the file. Use the Readlines() method. Test your programming using the names.txt file provided. Convert the program into a function called loadFile, that receives the file name as a paramenter and returns an list of strings. Write a main routine that calls loadFile three times to load the three data files given into three lists. Then choose a random element from the title list, two from the name list, and one from the descriptor list to generate a name. Print the name be in the form shown (you have to add the "the"): title name the descriptor For example: King Ludovicus Botolf the Bowman Print the name to the screen.

Explanation / Answer

#The python program that reads three text files using loadFile method
#and generates a random indexes of titleList, nameList and descriptor list
#and print to console.
import random
def main():

  
    titleList=loadFile('title.txt')
    nameList=loadFile('names.txt')
    desciptorList=loadFile('descriptor.txt')

    #generate four random numbers from the lists
    r1=random.randint(0,len(titleList)-1)
    r2=random.randint(0,len(nameList)-1)
    r3=random.randint(0,len(nameList)-1)
    r4=random.randint(0,len(desciptorList)-1)

    #prnt to console
    print('%s%s%s%s'%(titleList[r1],nameList[r2],nameList[r2],desciptorList[r4]))

#Method that reads given text file
def loadFile(filename):
    fopen=open(filename,"r")
    lines=fopen.readlines()
    return lines
  
main()
