Answered! Using python, write code for problem. The text file USPres.txt is used and i have put screenshot of contents of the…

For this question we can solve in multiple ways, here I’m using Doctionary, because its internally uses hashing techiniques , so based on range it is simple for acces values random way.

1) I handled error handling for file oiperation

2) Handled the range mismatching

The code is as follows :

d = {}
try:
with open(“USPres.txt”) as f:
for line in f:
(key, val) = line.split()
d[int(key)] = val
except IOError:
print “Error: can’t find file or read data”
lowRange = int(raw_input(“Please enter the lower number for the range:”))
highRange = int(raw_input(“Please enter the higher number for the range:”))
for key in xrange(lowRange,highRange):
print key, d[int(key)]

As a result , Output as you expected
