Assignment:

Write a program that creates a directory containing course numbers and information listed in the catalog. The directory should be structured as follows:
Number, Title, Hours
The program should create a list containing course numbers and listed information from a file. This file is structured so that each data item is on a single comma separated line and is contained in freshman.txt. The program should let the user enter a course number, and then it should list the title and credit hours; if the course is not in the directory, an appropriate error should be printed.

Examples

The following are examples of correct execution (with the text in bold being the input from the user):
