Self study, yes. Intermediate beginner. I just started writing games such as Hangman, Tic Tac Toe. Now I wanted to write a small To Do List which requires reading and writing to files as you explained (which is exactly what I want to learn now). > > At some stage it will cover reading and writing to files as well as data > structures that will help store your data more effectively and looping > constructs that will help you process it more effectively. > > You can read up on reading and writing to files if you want but > it may be better not to run before you can walk... Consider me a toddler. Can you advise how I should proceed in order to improve my To Do List program based on the code I wrote so far (insofar it's usable at all) ..? Weirdly, writing and reading to files is not covered in those tutorials I am working with.
