element because remember we start
2,181.48
4.56
indexing at zero in Python and one is
2,182.92
4.98
going to be the second second element so
2,186.04
3.78
let me go ahead and run this now and see
2,187.9
6.02
what happens python of uh
2,189.82
7.92
students.pi enter and we see Hermione's
2,193.92
5.32
in Gryffindor Harry's and Gryffindor Ron
2,197.74
3.48
is in Gryffindor and Draco is in
2,199.24
4.92
Slytherin so we have now implemented our
2,201.22
6.06
own code from scratch that actually
2,204.16
6.36
parses that is reads and interprets a
2,207.28
5.64
CSV file ultimately here
2,210.52
4.2
now let me pause to see if there's any
2,212.92
3.419
questions but we'll make this even
2,214.72
4.2
easier to read in just a moment
2,216.339
4.681
any questions on what we've just done
2,218.92
4.8
here by splitting by comma so my
2,221.02
6.36
question is uh can we edit any line of
2,223.72
6.72
code anytime we want or uh the only
2,227.38
5.82
option that we have is to append uh the
2,230.44
5.82
lines or let's say if we want to let's
2,233.2
6.659
say change headies uh house to let's say
2,236.26
7.2
Slytherin or some other house yeah a
2,239.859
5.22
really good question what if you want to
2,243.46
4.44
in Python change a line in the file and
2,245.079
5.76
not just a pen to the end you would have
2,247.9
4.98
to implement that logic yourself so for
2,250.839
4.561
instance you could imagine now opening
2,252.88
4.68
the file and reading all of the contents
2,255.4
4.679
in then maybe iterating over each of
2,257.56
4.26
those lines and as soon as you see that
2,260.079
4.141
the current name equals equals Harry you
2,261.82
4.44
could maybe change his house to
2,264.22
4.44
Slytherin and then it would be up to you
2,266.26
4.8
though to write all of those changes
2,268.66
4.32
back to the file so in that case you
2,271.06
3.96
might want to in simplest form read the
2,272.98
4.379
file once and let it close then open it
2,275.02
4.5
again but open for writing and change
2,277.359
4.681
the whole file it's not really possible
2,279.52
4.8
or easy to go in and change just part of
2,282.04
4.26
the file though you can do it it's
2,284.32
4.019
easier to actually read the whole file
2,286.3
3.96
make your changes in memory then write
2,288.339
3.961
the whole file out but for larger files
2,290.26
4.02
where that might be quite slow you can
2,292.3
4.62
be more clever than that well let me
2,294.28
4.68
propose now that we clean this up a
2,296.92
3.48
little bit because I actually think this
2,298.96
3.48
is a little cryptic to read Row Bracket
2,300.4
4.199
zero Row Bracket one it's it's not that
2,302.44
4.44
well written at the moment I would say
2,304.599
5.461
but it turns out that when you have a
2,306.88
5.58
variable that's a list like row you
2,310.06
3.72
don't have to throw all of those
2,312.46
3.42
variables into a list you can actually
2,313.78
5.28
unpack that whole sequence at once that
2,315.88
4.739
is to say if you know that a function
2,319.06
4.26
like split returns a list but you know
2,320.619
5.041
in advance that it's going to return two
2,323.32
4.56
values in a list the first and the
2,325.66
4.08
second you don't have to throw them all
2,327.88
3.84
into a variable that itself is a list
2,329.74
3.859
you can actually unpack them
2,331.72
4.26
simultaneously into two variables doing
2,333.599
4.841
name comma house so this is a nice
2,335.98
4.619
python technique to not only create but
2,338.44
3.26
assign
2,340.599
4.441
automatically in parallel two variables
2,341.7
5.8
at once rather than just one so this
2,345.04
4.079
will have the effect of putting the name
2,347.5
3.54
in the left Hermione and it will have
2,349.119
3.48
the effect of putting Gryffindor the
2,351.04
3.66
house in the right variable and we now
2,352.599
4.02
no longer have a row we can now make our
2,354.7
3.36
code a little more readable by now
2,356.619
3.781
literally just saying name down here and
2,358.06
4.5
for instance house down here so just a
2,360.4
3.179
little more readable even though
2,362.56
4.559
functionally the code now is exactly the
2,363.579
4.681
same
2,367.119
3.661
all right so this now works and I'll
2,368.26
4.2
confirm as much by just running it once
2,370.78
4.26
more python of students.pi enter and we
2,372.46
5.28
see that the text is as intended but
2,375.04
4.44
suppose for the sake of discussion that
2,377.74
5.099
I'd like to sort this list of output I'd
2,379.48
5.46
like to say hello again to Draco first
2,382.839
4.381
then hello to Harry then Hermione then
2,384.94
5.04
Ron how can I go about doing this well
2,387.22
4.44
let's take some inspiration from the
2,389.98
3.119
previous example where we're only
2,391.66
4.679
dealing with names and instead do it
2,393.099
5.641
with these full phrases so and so is
2,396.339
4.26
in-house well let me go ahead and do
2,398.74
3.42
this I'm going to go ahead and start
2,400.599
4.02
scratch and give myself a list called
2,402.16
4.56
students equal to an empty list
2,404.619
4.021
initially and then with open
2,406.72
4.379
students.csv
2,408.64
4.979
