a variable this time called names plural
171
4.98
and set it equal to an empty list recall
173.4
3.839
that the square bracket notation
175.98
2.88
especially if nothing's inside of it
177.239
4.08
just means give me an empty list that we
178.86
4.92
can add things to over time well what do
181.319
4.14
we want to add to it well let's add
183.78
3.78
three names each from the user and let
185.459
4.081
me say something like this for
187.56
5.099
underscore in range of three let me go
189.54
6
ahead and prompt the user with the input
192.659
4.86
function and getting their name in this
195.54
5.04
variable and then using list syntax I
197.519
7.021
can say names dot append name to that
200.58
7.26
list and now I have in that list that
204.54
6.059
given name one two three of them other
207.84
4.679
points to note is I could use a variable
210.599
3.961
here like I which is conventional but if
212.519
4.321
I'm not actually using I explicitly on
214.56
3.599
any subsequent lines I might as well
216.84
3.179
just use underscore which is a pythonic
218.159
3.781
convention and actually if I want to
220.019
3.661
clean this up a little bit right now
221.94
3.9
notice that my name variable doesn't
223.68
4.199
really need to exist because I'm
225.84
3.3
assigning it a value and then
227.879
3.42
immediately appending it well I could
229.14
4.26
tighten this up further by just getting
231.299
4.981
rid of that variable altogether and just
233.4
4.919
appending immediately the return value
236.28
4.5
of input I think we could go both ways
238.319
4.321
in terms of design here on the one hand
240.78
3.179
it's a pretty short line and it's
242.64
2.819
readable on the other hand if I were to
243.959
3.42
eventually change this phrase to be not
245.459
3.721
what's your name but something longer we
247.379
3.481
might want to break it out again into
249.18
3.18
two lines but for now I think it's
250.86
3.84
pretty readable now later in the program
252.36
4.2
let's just go ahead and print out those
254.7
3.599
same names but let's sort them
256.56
4.26
alphabetically so that it makes sense to
258.299
4.861
be gathering them all together then
260.82
3.9
sorting them and printing them so how
263.16
3.36
can I do that well in Python the
264.72
3.9
simplest way to sort a list in a loop is
266.52
4.32
probably to do something like this for
268.62
5.639
name in names but wait let's sort the
270.84
4.919
names first recall that there's a
274.259
3.481
function called sorted which will return
275.759
4.861
a sorted version of that list now let's
277.74
5.7
go ahead and print out an F string that
280.62
6.12
says again hello bracket name close
283.44
5.34
quotes all right let me go ahead and run
286.74
5.7
this so python of names dot pi and let
288.78
5.639
me go ahead and type in a few names this
292.44
3.66
time how about Hermione
294.419
5.161
how about Harry how about Ron and notice
296.1
5.4
that they're not quite in alphabetical
299.58
4.679
order but when I hit enter and that Loop
301.5
4.74
kicks in it's going to print out hello
304.259
5.22
Harry hello Hermione hello Ron in sorted
306.24
4.08
order
309.479
2.881
but of course now if I run this program
310.32
4.62
again all of the names are lost and if
312.36
4.38
this is a bigger program than this that
314.94
3.24
might actually be pretty painful to have
316.74
3.179
to re-input the same information again
318.18
3.9
and again and again wouldn't it be nice
319.919
4.381
like most any program today on a phone
322.08
4.559
or a laptop or desktop or Cloud to be
324.3
5.28
able to save this information somehow
326.639
5.701
instead and that's where file i o comes
329.58
4.679
in and that's where Files come in they
332.34
3.079
are a way of storing information
334.259
3.78
persistently on your own phone or Mac or
335.419
5.801
PC or some Cloud servers disk so that
338.039
4.801
they're there when you come back and run
341.22
4.14
the program again so how can we go about
342.84
6.24
saving all three of these names on in a
345.36
5.7
file as opposed to having to type them
349.08
4.38
again and again let me go ahead and
351.06
4.02
simplify this file and again give myself
353.46
4.079
just a single variable called name and
355.08
6
set the return value of input equal to
357.539
5.461
that variable so what's your name as
361.08
4.739
before quote unquote and now let me go
363
4.86
ahead and let me do something more with
365.819
4.141
this value instead of just adding it to
367.86
3.959
a list or printing it immediately out
369.96
3.959
let's save the value of the person's
371.819
3.961
name that's just been typed in to a file
373.919
3.961
well how do we go about doing that well
375.78
3.6
in Python there's this function called
377.88
3.42
open whose purpose in life is to do just
379.38
4.7
that to open a file but to open it up
381.3
4.8
programmatically so that you the
384.08
3.64
programmer can actually read information
386.1
4.8
from it or write information to it so
387.72
4.979
open is like the programmer's equivalent
390.9
