Perimeter

This project is about:

• Reading from a files containing points
• Calculating the perimeter of one point to the other
• Finding the maximum and minimum perimeter
• Average length of all the perimeter
• Sum of all the perimeter
• Passing the files from the command prompt
• Saving the return values of the summarize points to a text file called total_output.txt
• Making sure the Point class can accept any length of point.

The two available module that can process points are

• perimeter.py
• perimeter.sh Bash script which depend on perimeter.py

Both of this two file can accept any files containing point, but the main difference is that;

• perimeter.py will only return the summary to the terminal

while

• perimeter.sh will save the output into total_output.txt and also display the content to the terminal.
  The pattern that was used to generate the current total_output.txt is
