Gimme5 - File Handling

#file handling
"""
1a.  Create a new program that asks you to enter then name of a pet
1b.  Change the program so that the pets name is then saved to an external file, called my_pet.txt

2a.  Verify that your pets name has been added to the file
2b.  Run the program again and add another pet, can be called anything!
2c.  Verify again and notice the way the data is saved..  (should all be squished together!”

3a. Change your code to include the new line character (hint below if needed)
3b.  Change code again to loop taking in new pet names until someone enters “STOP”
3c.  Verify the file, if you have added STOP to the file, change your code so that this doesn’t appear

4a.  Now create some code the read in the whole file and print out the contents, check that its the same as your my_pet.txt file.
4b.  Change read to readline and prove that you are able to read the file in one line at a time

5a.  Change readline to readlines and prove that you are able to see a list of its contents.
5b.  Now create some code that removes the “\n” from each element of the list.
5c.  Now apply one of your favourite list methods to the list.  (eg Len, sort, [0]…..)
