Class Register

Learning Objectives

In this challenge we are going to focus on accessing a text file in Python to:

• Read the content of the file line by line,
• Write data to a new file.

Before completing this challenge, you should read about the main file handling operations using Python.

Your Challenge

Your challenge consists of writing a Python script that could be used by a teacher to take the register at the beginning of the lesson.

Your program will need to:

1. Read the text file called classList.txt, line by line.
2. For each student (line of the text file) the program should ask the teacher if the pupil is pesent (“/” code), absent for medical reasons or illness (“M” code), on a school trip (“T” code), or absent with no reason provided yet (“X” code).
3. The program should store the teacher’s input alongside with the name of each pupil into a new text file called “register.txt”.

To complete this challenge you will need to use the class list text file:

ClassList.txt
