Question

language: python

Create a text file in your project folder with at least 20 "quirky sayings"/fortunes (the only requirement is that they be appropriate for display in class), If I use my own file though, you should handle as many fortunes as I put in. Make each fortune its own line,

•in your main function ask the user for the name of the fortunes file.•Create a function which takes the name of the fortunes file as a parameter, open that file, read all the lines into a list of strings Create a list by reading those 20+ fortunes from your file, then return that list from this functions•back in the main function call the display_fortunes passing the list of strings that you got from the previous functions•display_fortunes should•repeat as often as the user wants:

•ask the user if they want another fortune, •if the user’s answer begins with any variation in capitalization of the word ‘yes, then•select a random line from your list of fortunes and display it •if the users answer begins with no (in any capitalization) then quit the program

Answer 1

CODE:

import random
#function to read the file of fortunes
def returnFortuneList(filename):
#opening the file which can contain any number of lines
file = open(filename,'r')
#reading each line in the file and and storing it in the list
#file.readlines() returns a list of lines in the file
#but it contains character '\n' at the end of each line
#x.split('\n')[0] removes the '\n' if it is present in the line
fortuneList = [x.split('\n')[0] for x in file.readlines()]
#returning the list
return fortuneList

def display_fortunes(fortuneList):
choice = 'yes'
#while the user enter yes as a choice
while(choice.lower() == 'yes'):
print('\nFortune: ')
#prints a random fortune from the list
print(random.choice(fortuneList))
#asks the user whether to print again
choice = input('Do you want another fortune to be displayed? (yes/no): ')
print('Bye!')
#main method
def main():
#asking for the filename from the user
filename = input("Enter the filename: ")
#calling the first funciton
fortuneList = returnFortuneList(filename)
#calling the display function
display_fortunes(fortuneList)
#calling the main method
if(__name__ == '__main__'):
main()
