Exercise 20 - functions and files

from sys import argv

script, input_file = argv

def print_all(f):
    print(f.read())
    
def rewind(f):
    f.seek(0)
    
def print_a_line(line_count, input_file):
    print(line_count, input_file.readline())
    
current_file = open(input_file)

print ("First let's print the whole file:/n")

print_all(current_file)

print("Now let's rewind, kind of like a tape.")

rewind(current_file)

print("Let's print three lines:")

current_line = 1
print_a_line(current_line, current_file)

current_line = current_line + 1
print_a_line(current_line, current_file)

current_line = current_line + 1
print_a_line(current_line, current_file)

output

D:\>python ex20.py ex20.txt
First let's print the whole file:/n
We can just give the function numbers directly:
You have 20 cheeses!
You have 30 boexes of crackers!
Man that's enough for a party!
Get a blanke.

Or, we can use variables from our script:
You have 10 cheeses!
You have 50 boexes of crackers!
Man that's enough for a party!
Get a blanke.

We can even do math inside too:
You have 30 cheeses!
You have 11 boexes of crackers!
Man that's enough for a party!
Get a blanke.

And we can combine the two, variables and math:
You have 110 cheeses!
You have 1050 boexes of crackers!
Man that's enough for a party!
Get a blanke.
Now let's rewind, kind of like a tape.
Let's print three lines:
1 We can just give the function numbers directly:

2 You have 20 cheeses!

3 You have 30 boexes of crackers!
