I can't get my code to work, could someone please help?
HERE IS THE CODE:
#This program should take in the pupil's names and marks from an external text document.
#It should then find the name of the pupil with the top mark amd display their name and mark and save the mark to file
def get_info():
pupil_firstName = []
pupil_surname = []
pupil_marks = []
file = open("pupils.txt","r")
for line in file:
item=line.split()
if len(item) >1:
pupil_firstName.append(item[0])
pupil_surname.append(item[1])
pupil_marks.append(int(item[2]))
return pupil_firstName, pupil_surname, pupil_marks
position = 0
def findMax(pupil_marks):
last = len(pupil_marks)
max = pupil_marks[0]
for i in range(1, last):
if pupil_marks[i] > max:
max = pupil_marks[i]
position = i
return max, position
def displayResults(pupil_firstName, pupil_surname, pupil_marks, position):
max, position = findMax(pupil_marks)
print("The pupil who got the highest mark is",pupil_firstName, pupil_surname[position])
print("their mark was",max)
#Main Program
pupil_firstName, pupil_surname, pupil_marks = get_info()
pupil_marks = findMax(pupil_marks)
displayResults(max, pupil_firstName, pupil_surname[postition])
