Description
This course will teach you how to create lists in your programming, the process of updating your list, and how to search through it. You will learn to use 'remove()' when you know the value you want to be removed and 'del' when you know the index number of the item you want removed. The course will teach you how to create a file with your code, write information in a file, and specify the file name including the file extension and the access mode.
Next, how to read from a file. The course will discuss the library where you can get help in reading CSV files and which also provides many functions that you would otherwise have to create yourself. You will study the functions of 'with' statement, indentation, and Visual Studio. You will learn to define a code block by inserting 'sub' or 'function' followed by 'end sub' or 'end function'. The course will also teach you why it is important to place your message within double quotation marks in your code.
