""" ==============TASK
What if we want to ADD a new user to fakefacebook?! We would need to WRITE (and not read) from file

1.Add the required user input to add an entire full record to the file. (e.g. id, firstname, lastname, username, password, no.of.friends,etc.)
2. Write this record to the file, as has been shown with the example below
"""

import csv

#1. This code snippet asks the user to enter an ID number and first name, and writes it to the file (appends)

with open('fakefacebook_write.txt','a',newline="") as fo: #open the file in append mode (add to file, we don't wish to overwrite!)
        Writer=csv.writer(fo) #fo = file out (this can be called anything you like)
        id=input("Enter ID:")
        firstname=input("Enter firstname:")
        Writer.writerow([id,firstname])
        print("Record has been written to file")

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.
