Problem description & analysis

We have a txt file data1.txt, as shown below:

ID,Name,LastName,Department

And another txt file data2.txt, as shown below:

ID,Q1,Q2,Q3,Midterm,Final

ID,Name,avgQ_Average,Midterm,Final,Department

12345,John,88.33,89,100,Computer Science

14524,David,71.67,15,90,Electric and Electronic
