Dear Professor,

The overall program should, for a given datafile: Based on the header (i.e. top) line, make sure that the file is a tab-separated format file Also based on the header line, report any lines that do not have the same number of cells. (Cells are allowed be empty.) Remove the column with header Continent, which is sparsely populated and is not present in one of the files. Ignore the rows that do not represent countries (the country code field is empty) Ignore the rows for years outside those for which we have at least some Cantril data. (Cantril data may be absent in certain years within the range of those for which there otherwise is data; those cells should be retained.)

I have a question : What shold I do if a country is in gdp-vs-happiness.tsv, but not in homicide-rate-unodc.tsv, should I just ignore them or i need to send to stdout? The above requirements do not mention this.
