00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,806
Here on my desktop, I have a text file,

2
00:00:02,914 --> 00:00:06,124
fruits.txt. If I double click it, it

3
00:00:06,149 --> 00:00:08,549
will open with one of the text editors

4
00:00:08,975 --> 00:00:12,119
that I have installed in my computer. So

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,549
the text editor is a program, and in

6
00:00:14,549 --> 00:00:17,279
this program, I can read this file, so I

7
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:19,649
can read this lines, I can write more

8
00:00:19,649 --> 00:00:22,019
lines here, I can copy this and paste,

9
00:00:22,259 --> 00:00:25,859
multiply them to have a lot of these

10
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:28,469
lines in here in this text file, and I

11
00:00:28,469 --> 00:00:31,499
can do all this with this text editor

12
00:00:31,499 --> 00:00:34,229
program that I happen to have here in my

13
00:00:34,254 --> 00:00:37,704
computer. Now, we can do the same using

14
00:00:38,039 --> 00:00:40,379
Python, which means we can read the file

15
00:00:40,552 --> 00:00:43,042
with Python, we can write more content

16
00:00:43,079 --> 00:00:45,839
in that file, we can multiply this and

17
00:00:45,839 --> 00:00:47,189
we can actually do that very

18
00:00:47,189 --> 00:00:49,559
efficiently. If I had to multiply this,

19
00:00:50,254 --> 00:00:54,094
I had to copy and paste them a thousand times

20
00:00:54,119 --> 00:00:56,639
maybe, but with Python, you can do that

21
00:00:56,639 --> 00:01:01,379
very easily. So let's go ahead and do

22
00:01:01,379 --> 00:01:03,539
the same thing with Python, and let's

23
00:01:03,539 --> 00:01:06,569
start with reading the file. So how to

24
00:01:06,569 --> 00:01:08,219
read a file with Python. I'll show you

25
00:01:08,219 --> 00:01:09,282
that in the next video.
