Part 3: Programming Question [20 points]

In mathematics, the dot product is the sum of the products of the corresponding entries of the two
equal-length sequences of numbers. The formula to calculate dot product of two sequences of
numbers a =[a0, a1, a2, …, an-1] and b =[b0, b1, b2, …, bn-1] is defined as:
n −1
˙
product= ∑ ai × bi
i=0

For example if a = [3.4 ,-5.2 , 6] and b = [2.5, 1.6, -2.9]

Dot product = 3.4 x 2.5 + (-5.2) x 1.6 + 6 x (-2.9) = -17.22

Write a python program that calculates the dot product. The program should have the following user-
defined functions.

main(): function asks the user for file names that contain the two sequences of real values. The
function calls readInput and dotProduct to read data from files and calculates the dot product
respectively.
readInput(filename): This function receives filename and reads the sequences of real values
from the file, stores them in a list. Then, the function returns the list. You need to call it for each
filename.
dotProduct(list1, list2): This function receives two lists of real values with same length.
It computes and returns their dot product. You are not allowed to print the dot product from this
function.
Note:

 Make sure that your indentation is clear, otherwise you may lose points.
 Your functions must be general and not specific to the given
example. Sample content of the input
 It is not allowed to use global variables and any external files:
library to calculate the dot product.
 Handle all exceptions when dealing with files. input1.txt
3.4
The following are sample runs of the program: -5.2
6
Sample run#1
Enter first file name : input1.txt input2.txt
Enter second file name: input3.txt 2.5
The two sequences numbers are not equal in length. 1.6
-2.9
Sample run#2
Enter first file name : input4.txt input3.txt
Error: the input file: input4.txt is not found -1.5
1.8
Sample run#3
Enter first file name : input1.txt input4.txt file does not exist
Enter second file name: input2.txt
Dot product = -17.22

Sample run#4
Enter first file name : input1.txt
Enter second file name: input4.txt
 Page 19 of 20

Error: the input file: input4.txt is not found
