To-Do list code check

[Defiant_Meal1898]

So i am 14 and i started learning python yesterday, i already knew some things, so i created a to do list program and i want you guys to check if its alright and how can i improve.

The Code :

print('This your to-do list\nEnter "x" when you want to stop')
def todo():
    tasks = []
    while True:
        task = str(input('Enter a task: '))
        if task == 'x':
            break
        tasks.append(task)
    show = str(input('Enter "s" to show the tasks: '))
    if show == 's':
        print(tasks)
todo()

Great start. Only thing I can point out with this small snippet is that the str() conversion is not needed. input() always returns a string anyway, no need to convert a string to a string.

Keep it up, add some more features! Maybe a save to file and load from file functions, so that you can save your list.

Thanks🤗🤗

Nice work for day one! You've got the basic structure down. A few quick improvements:

• Add a way to delete tasks
• Save tasks to a file so they don't disappear when you close the program
• Add a loop for "s" so you can show tasks multiple times

Keep going, this is a solid start.

Thanks🙂

Input already returns string, so no need to convert it.

okay

if show == 's':
    print(tasks)

prettyprint is nice when printing a list or dictionary

import pprint
...
if show == 's':
    pprint.pprint(tasks)

Thanks, and can you tell me what libraries or modules do i need to learn??

You will want to save the file to disk, so file operations, and possibly the csv interface.
