step 1:
Write a program that will ask the user for their grocery list, one item at a time, and will write it to a file called groceries.txt. The program should create a new file called groceries.txt that will contain all of the user’s groceries when opened.
Step 2:
Modify the program that creates a groceries.txt file so that if the user’s favourite fruit is not on the list, the program will append it to the end of groceries.txt file.
1. Write a program that opens an output file with the filename my_name.txt, writes your name to the file, then closes the file.
2. Write a program that opens the my_name.txt file that was created by the program in problem 1, reads your name from the file, displays the name on the screen, then closes the file. Write code that does the following: opens an output file with the filename number_list.
Please I really need help with this question it is confusing me a lot I don't understand how should I start, Also can you please attach the TEXT FILE Screenshot. PLEASE!
Write a program that allows the user to navigate lines of text in a file. The program should prompt the user for a filename, read the file and input the lines of text into a list. The program then enters a loop in which it prints the number of lines in the file and prompts the user for a line number. Actual line number range from 1 to the number of lines in the file. If the input is 0, the program quits. Otherwise, the program prints the text associated with that number.
You must also run the script and provide a screenshot of the output along with the textfile.

- Finish this program from the code posted below! Note: There should be two files Main.py and Contact.py You will implement the edit_contact function. In the function, do the following: Ask the user to enter the name of the contact they want to edit. If the contact exists, in a loop, give them the following choices Remove one of the phone numbers from that Contact. Add a phone number to that Contact. Change that Contact's email address. Change that Contact's name (if they do this, you will have to remove the key/value pair from the dictionary and re-add it, since the key is the contact’s name. Use the dictionary's pop method for this!) Stop editing the Contact Once the user is finished making changes to the Contact, the function should return.

The function should open the CSV file, read the birthdate data, and determine which person's birthday will be celebrated next, given the current date. The name of the person should be returned. In other words, given a date, find the person whose birthday is next.

- The function file_first_chars in python takes one parameter, fname, the name of a text file, and returns a string made up of the first character from each line in the file. You may assume there are no blank lines in the file. Hint: Use a for loop to iterate over the lines of the file and accumulate the string of first characters. NOTE: Return the function, don't print For example: Test Result print(file_first_chars("wordlist1.txt")) hsaemarrow_forwardIn Java Oleae nust read a file A photographer is organizing a photo collection about the national parks in the US and would like to annotate the information about each of the photos into a separate set of files. Write a program that reads the name of a text file containing a list of photo file names. The program then reads the photo file names from the text file, replaces the "_photo.jpg" portion of the file names with "_info.txt", and outputs the modified file names. Assume the unchanged portion of the photo file names contains only letters and numbers, and the text file stores one photo file name per line. If the text file is empty, the program produces no output. Ex: If the input of the program is: ParkPhotos.txt and the contents of ParkPhotos.txt are: Acadia2003_photo.jpg AmericanSamoa1989_photo.jpg BlackCanyonoftheGunnison1983_photo.jpg CarlsbadCaverns2010_photo.jpg CraterLake1996_photo.jpg GrandCanyon1996_photo.jpg IndianaDunes1987_photo.jpg LakeClark2009_photo.jpg…arrow_forwardPROGRAM NEEDS TO MATCH EXAMPLE PHOTO Write a program ( lab6.cpp ) that gives and takes advice on program writing. The program starts by writing a piece of advice to the screen and asking the user to type in a different piece of advice. The program then ends. The next person to run the program receives the advice given by the person who last ran the program. The advice is kept in a file, and the contents of the file change after each run of the program. You can use your editor to enter the initial piece of advice in the file so that the first person who runs the program receives some advice. Allow the user to type in advice of any length so that it can be any number of lines long. The user is told to end his or her advice by pressing the Return key two times. Your program can then test to see that it has reached the end of the input by checking to see when it reads two consecutive occurrences of the character ‘\n’.

After each song is printed, except for the last song, the program asks the user to press enter for more. After the last song, the program should say that this was the last song and quit. If there were no songs in the file to begin with, the program should say that there are no songs to show and quit. The program should begin by asking the user for the name of the input file. Each song consists of a title, artist, and year. In the file, each song is given on three consecutive lines.
