In this assignment you will create a program to process the attached file (data.txt) to calculate the grades for a course. Each line of the file has the following format: Name Test1 Test2 Test3 ( 20% ) Write code to read and process the file. ( 10% )Create a function to calculate and return the average of three tests. ( 10% )Create a function to determine and return the letter grade based on any given average.  Based on that, compute an average score and a final grade for each student. Grade is to be assigned as:A if the total is at least 90, B if it is at last 80, C if it is at least 70, D if it is at least 60, and F otherwise. ( 20% ) Compute the class average and the average grade for the class.  ( See sample output. HINT: use \t  (tabs) to separate name test1, test2, …   ). ( 20% ) Determine the Grades Distribution ( See sample output. Hint: Use accumulators to count the number of As, Bs, etc  ). ( 20% ) Code must COMPILE and RUN as expected. ( does NOT compile: -20%, compiles and runs partial output: partial points ) .input file—————————– input file ( dataStudents.txt)———————————–  Sami 83 65 85Bill 94 100 90John 100 81 82Mary 65 50 74Adam 50 72 45Juan 100 85 90Alex 90 70 95Luke 60 75 50 Sample output Cop 2800Name    Test1   Test2   Test3   Avg     Grade———————————————–Sami       83.0    65.0    85.0    77.67    CBill          94.0    100.0   90.0    94.67   AJohn       100.0   81.0    82.0    87.67   BMary        65.0    50.0    74.0    63.00   DAdam       50.0    72.0    45.0    55.67   FJuan        100.0   85.0    90.0    91.67   AAlex         90.0    70.0    95.0    85.00   BLuke        60.0    75.0    50.0    61.67   D Class Average: 77.13Average Grade: C ———- Grades Distribution ———-A: 2B: 2C: 1D: 2F: 1
