I need help with my Python lesson. We are supposed to work a problem and when I searched your answers given I find solutions that dont seem to actually work. They use stuff that I don't understand what they are trying to do so I can not follow along. I am hoping you can help me with a less advanced answer so that I can understand what it is you are doing. Because after I complete this exercise we have an exercise in class tomorrow that will be similar and I will need to do it in class. The Problem is out of Zybooks for this lesson. Given a text file containing the availability of food items, write a program that reads the information from the text file and outputs the available food items. The program first reads the name of the text file from the user. The program then reads the text file, stores the information into four separate lists, and outputs the available food items in the following format: name (category) -- description Assume the text file contains the category, name, description, and availability of at least one food item, separated by a tab character ('\t'). Ex: If the input of the program is: food.txt and the contents of food.txt are: Sandwiches Ham sandwich Classic ham sandwich Available Sandwiches Chicken salad sandwich Chicken salad sandwich Not available Sandwiches Cheeseburger Classic cheeseburger Not available Salads Caesar salad Chunks of romaine heart lettuce dressed with lemon juice Available Salads Asian salad Mixed greens with ginger dressing, sprinkled with sesame Not available Beverages Water 16oz bottled water Available Beverages Coca-Cola 16oz Coca-Cola Not available Mexican food Chicken tacos Grilled chicken breast in freshly made tortillas Not available Mexican food Beef tacos Ground beef in freshly made tortillas Available Vegetarian Avocado sandwich Sliced avocado with fruity spread Not available the output of the program is: Ham sandwich (Sandwiches) -- Classic ham sandwich Caesar salad (Salads) -- Chunks of romaine heart lettuce dressed with lemon juice Water (Beverages) -- 16oz bottled water Beef tacos (Mexican food) -- Ground beef in freshly made tortillas
