hashes and databases
Here‛s one surfer‛s data from the file, assigned to a variable called line:
line = "101;Johnny 'wave-boy' Jones;USA;8.32;Fish;21"
Grab your pencil and write some code to process this line and display it on screen like this:
ID: 101
Name: Johnny 'wave-boy' Jones
Country: USA
Average: 8.32
Board type: Fish
Age: 21
Hints: If you pass a string parameter to the split() method, the data is cut where the string parameter
occurs, as opposed to the cut occurring at a space character (which is split()'s default behavior). Also,
consider using multiple-assignment on the left side of the assignment operator when assigning more than one
name-value pairing to a hash.
