00:00:00,450 --> 00:00:04,810
Here on my desktop I have a text while fruits.txt.

2
00:00:05,130 --> 00:00:11,880
If I double click it it will open with one of the text editors that I have installed in my computer.

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,000
So the text editor is a program.

4
00:00:14,130 --> 00:00:18,660
And in this program I can read this file so I can read these lines.

5
00:00:18,660 --> 00:00:20,300
I can write more lines here.

6
00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:28,530
I can copy this and paste, multiply them to have a lot of these lines in here, in this text file and I

7
00:00:28,530 --> 00:00:35,180
can do all this with this text editor program 
that I happen to have here in my computer.

8
00:00:35,250 --> 00:00:43,080
Now we can do the same using Python which means we can read the file with Python, we can write more content

9
00:00:43,110 --> 00:00:48,090
in that file, we can multiply this, and we can actually do that very efficiently.

10
00:00:48,090 --> 00:00:56,400
If I had to multiply this, I had to copy and paste them a thousand times maybe, but with Python you can

11
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:57,930
do that very easily.

12
00:00:57,930 --> 00:01:05,840
So let's go ahead and do the same thing with Python
and let's start with reading the file.

13
00:01:05,970 --> 00:01:07,890
So how to read a file with Python?

14
00:01:07,950 --> 00:01:09,130
I'll show you that in the next video.
