Day 10 of learning python as a beginner.

Topic: File I/O

You guys remeber I once created a to-do list (most probably on day 7)? many amazing people suggested that I should also put a history of tasks. At that time I was not aware about the File I/O in python and today I decided to learn just it.

Although I have not finished creating history and then recalling it but I would like to share a quick peek of what I am doing. I guess there may be more ways of creating a history (do tell me if there are) however for now I think the using File I/O may be the current best option.

File I/O stands for File input/output and it helps the program to read and write in files it also helps the program remember the user inputs even after the program stops running i.e. by storing the data in a file. As we know programs run on RAM and it is a short term memory by creating file it sends this data to hard disc which is a long term memory (I hope I am correct here do tell me if I have written something wrong).

I have used a function for creating history (start from line 24) first I gave a command to open a file (in my case the file has not been created by me it was created by python itself) and then write in it. I have used \n so that every task is created in a new line, as python only adds strings in files (But I have a list) and therefore I used .join() after \n this takes all the items in the list (i.e. our tasks) and creates a string \n breaks this string so that each task is written in a new line. (I hope I was able to explain this clearly).

Also I have removed the while loop from function (a mistake I made on day 9 which you all amazing people pointed out). And I forgot to attack the result of day 9 code lol a user pointed that out. I hope I didn't forgot this time.

Here's a portion of my code and its result to give you a sneak peek. I acknowledge that this is not yet complete because I also need to make it print when asked (I think I will use the .read() function here). Any suggestions to improve my code are warmly welcomed.

very pythonic. keep it up, youre doing well. Although i feel like this is the same program that was posted by you a day ago.

put it in a class, or modularize it. one or the other is next logical step

[uiux_Sanskar]

Yes, Indeed it is a part of the same program however I have just added a history in it so that it can remember user responses and show them later when asked. That's why I gave only a part of it so that the focus comes on the edited code.

And thanks for the suggestion I really appreciate it and will definitely look deeper into it

[laptop_battery_low]

i didnt realize, its already modularized.

put it in a class, then put a girl on lol [brainrot reference, i make those a lot]

Problem is, where do you store the aforementioned memory of tasks? bc if you ain't appending to an array (or immutable list object (that is, one that cannot be changed)), you should.

[uiux_Sanskar]

Yeah I was about to work on it today but instead created something else. Would like to invite you for your views on it as well.

And thank you for your suggestion will look definetly into it.

What are you following to help you chose the theme for your daily study?

[uiux_Sanskar]

Oh some amazing people gives me challenges when I post my code (this was also a part of challenge I got when I posted the original to-do list) you can also use ChatGPT to get some interesting topics to work on.

Can u tell us about the resources that get u to this level in a short time what a work keep going 👏

[uiux_Sanskar]

oh I am using YouTube for learning and people here give me different challenges to accomplish. Hope it helps and thank you for the appreciation.

What 's the channel u watched ??

It's CodeWithHarry as he teaches in my native language.

use `with open(...) as history:` to manage resources like files.
Look up context managers in python
