Reading input from file, instead of hard-coding values in your code or getting them from user input, can speed up your workflow and allow you to write modular code. In this lab, you will write a function read_configuration(), which will take a filename as its input and return a list, where every line from the file is a list, which contains each whitespace-separated value as its element.
For example, below are the contents of a file is called board1.txt:
X O .
X O .
X . .
After processing this file, the function should produce the following:
>>> read_configuration("board1.txt")
[['X', 'O', '.'], ['X', 'O', '.'], ['X', '.', '.']]
Note that you can visualize the returned list as follows to see how it maps to the input file
[['x', 'o', '.'],
['x', 'o', '],
['x', '.', ']]
Hint: Remember that split() is a really helpful function. Also, you can get a sense of how to approach file processing by following along.

Write a program that takes in 3 inputs [players (int type), expected game time (double type), team (char type)] and calculates actual game time (double) based on the following conditions: if the number of players or the expected game time is less than or equal to zero, it should output wrong input if the number of players is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 6 and if they are on the â€r’ or â€r’ team, their game time will be 10% faster. and if they are on the â€b’ or â€b’ team, their game time will be 15% faster. and if they are on the â€y’ or â€y’ team, their game time will be 20% faster. and if they are on any other team, they will play 0% faster. if the number of players is greater than 6 but less than or equal to 12 and if they are on the â€r’ or â€r’ team, their game time will be 20% faster. and if they are on the â€b’ or â€b’ team, their game time will be 25% faster. and if they are on the â€y’ or â€y’ team their game time will be 30% faster. and if they are on any other team, they will play 0% faster. if the number of players is greater than 12 but less than or equal to 18 and if they are on the â€r’ or â€r’ team, their game time will be 30% faster. and if they are on the â€b’ or â€b’ team, their game time will be 35% faster. and if they are on the â€y’ or â€y’ team, their game time will

You will be given two character arrays of the same size, one will contain a number of ships. ships will move around the character array based on which way they are facing and the route they are on. routes are given in the other array. the route consists of '-' and '|' for straight paths, '\' and '/' for curves, and '+' for intersections. there are ships on these routes. ships always face a direction, '^' for up, '> ' for right, 'v' for down, and '< ' for left. any time the ships hit a '\' or a '/' it will turn as you would expect a ship to turn (e. g. a '^' that moves into a '/' will turn right). at an intersection, ships will always continue straight through. all ships move at the same speed, ships take turns moving and all ships move during one 'tick'. the one in the most top left goes first, followed by those to its right, then the ones in the next row. it iterates along the rows and then down the columns. each ship moves one space on its turn moving along the route. your function needs to return the position of the first collision between two ships and the number of ticks before the crash occurred.
