Hey welcome to this new section. Now I assume you know how to use variables, how
to write functions, and you can tell what difference between different data types
in Python, so you should know these things, and if you're not yet confident
about those basic concepts nothing to worry about. You will use them over and over
again and as you build the 10 applications along the course. They are
the fundamental blocks of the language so you need that for every program
that you'll write and we'll be using these fundamentals a lot throughout the
course and now we start shifting a bit towards more practical things and
specifically in this section you'll learn how to handle false with Python.
So far we worked only with numbers, and text, and you know native objects in Python.
In this section we will interact with files. So consider Python as a normal program
such as Notepad editor or even Atom. Let's say Notepad an editor, so notepad
can open text files and it can also write content in them and Python can do the
same except you need to use code in the case of Python, so you need to write
Python code to open a text file with Python for instance or other kinds of
files and you use Python code to grab the text of the text file and you also do
the same if you want to add text to that file so we read and write and the process
is very easy. You just need to practice it a little bit so you need to practice
the commands that do this file handling. And I'll be showing you all the
necessary commands throughout the next lectures. These are built in functions,
so no need for third party libraries. And yeah, that just about the
introduction, let's get our hands dirty with code now, so see you in the next
lectures.
