I need help writing a functionbuild_instancesthat will read the data from the file, create instances of FictionBook and NonFictionBook from the data, assign these instances to a Book list and return the Book list.

and also write functionbuild_invoicethat accepts the Book list and a quantity list and returns the grand total of all books sold and the number of FictionBooks sold.

Thank you

This is what I have done so far

f = open("books.txt", "w")

data = ['Fiction;Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter;Grahame-Smith;Wiley;13.99',

'Fiction;Frankenstein;Shelley;Prescott;7.99',

'NonFiction;Life of Kennedy;Jones;Pearson;12.90;biography',

'Fiction;Dracula;Stoker;Addison;5.99',

'Fiction;Curse of the Wolfman;Hageman;Wesley;10.59',

'NonFiction;How to Pass Java;Willis;Wiley;1.99;technology',

'Fiction;The Mummy;Rice;Addision;7.99',

'NonFiction;History of Texas;Smith;Prescott;9.75;history']

f = open ('books.txt','w')

for book in data:

f.write(book + ' ')

f.close()

class Book:

def __init__(self, title, author, publisher, price):

self.title = title

self.author = author

self.publisher = publisher

self.price = price

def calculate_charge (self,quantity):

return quantity*self.price

class FictionBook(Book):

def __init__(self):

pass

class NonFictionBook(Book):

def __init__(self,category):

self.category = category
