""" ==============TASK
1. Add an ID number to the file (e.g. 001, 002, and so on for each user)
2. Search by ID number, and return the whole record of the user

e.g.
Search by ID: 001

import csv

#1. This code snippet asks the user to enter a first name, and lists all the rows in the file that have that first name (use "Ruth" to test)
#Note: we have a new file this time - called fakefacebook_withnames

with open("fakefacebook_withnames.txt",newline="") as f:
  reader=csv.reader(f)
  email=input("Who are you looking for on fakefacebook? Enter a first name....:")
  for row in reader:

Systems Life Cycle (in a nutshell): Analyse - Design - Create - Test - Evaluate. Designing something or writing out some pseudocode before you actually write code is always a good idea! Get in to the habit of doing so! You can draw your flowchart here and screenshot it.

A sample flow chart (design) for this particular challenge could look like:

Each challenge section below provides an online drawing tool where you can dynamically create flowcharts. Screenshot them into your presentation for submission.
