#Helina Hailu #January 5,2021 #I learned to read a list with .readlines() and to close files with .close(). #I had no difficulty completing this activity

# [ ] Run to download file to notebook !curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MicrosoftLearning/intropython/master/poem1.txt -o poem1.txt

# [ ] review and run example # open address to file poem1 = open('poem1.txt', 'r') # readlines and print as a list poem_lines = poem1.readlines() poem_lines

# [ ] review and run example for line in poem_lines: print(line)

# [ ] import cities #Using !curl to import the web address and naming it cities.txt with -o !curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MicrosoftLearning/intropython/master/cities -o cities.txt

# [ ] open cities.txt as cities_file and read the file as a list: cities_lines #Opening cities.txt as cities file and read the file using .readlines() in the variable cities_lines cities_file = open("cities.txt", "r") cities_lines = cities_file.readlines()

# [ ] use list iteration to print each city in cities_lines list #Using for in to print cities_lines without /n for line in cities_lines: print(line)

# [ ] review and run examples # [ ] re-open file and read file as a list of strings poem1 = open('poem1.txt', 'r') poem_lines = poem1.readlines() print(poem_lines)

# [ ] print each list item for line in poem_lines: print(line)

# [ ] remove the last character of each list item, which is "\n" count = 0 for line in poem_lines: poem_lines[count] = line[:-1] count += 1 print(poem_lines)

# [ ] print each list item for line in poem_lines: print(line)

# [ ] re-open file and read file as a list of strings # [ ] open cities.txt as cities_file and read the file as a list: cities_lines cities_file = open("cities.txt", "r") cities_lines = cities_file.readlines()

# [ ] remove the last character, "\n", of each cities_lines list item iterate = 0 for line in cities_lines: cities_lines[iterate] = line[:-1] iterate += 1

# [ ] print each list item in cities_lines for line in cities_lines: print(line)

# [ ] review and run example: open and readlines of poem1.txt poem1 = open('poem1.txt', 'r')

# [ ] review and run example: readlines breaks if file is no longer open poem_lines = poem1.readlines() print(poem_lines)

# [ ] review and run example: Close poem1 poem1.close()

# [ ] open cities.txt as cities_file cities_file = open('cities.txt','r' )

# [ ] read the lines as cities_lines cities_lines = cities_file.readlines()

# [ ] print the cities that start with the letter "D" or greater #Using for in and if else to print cities starting with the letter d or more for line in cities_lines: if line[0] >= "D": print(line) else: pass

# [ ] test that file is closed #There should be a value error since the file is closed cities_lines =cities_file.readlines() print(cities_lines)

# [ ] close cities_file cities_file.close()

# [ ] import https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MicrosoftLearning/intropython/master/poem2.txt as poem2.txt #Using !curl to import a web address and using -o to rename it poem2.txt !curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MicrosoftLearning/intropython/master/poem2.txt -o poem2.txt

# [ ] open poem2.txt as poem2_text in read mode poem2_text = open("poem2.txt", "r")

# [ ] create a list of strings, called poem2_lines, from each line of poem2_text poem2_lines = poem2_text.readlines()

# [ ] remove the newline character for each list item in poem2_lines count = 0 for line in poem2_lines: poem2_lines[count] = line[:-1] count += 1 poem2_lines

# [ ] print the poem2 lines in reverse order for line in poem2_lines: poem2_lines.reverse() print(line)
