O'Reilly Introduction to Python/Section 13

Goal #1: review the flashcard quizzer

(Estimated completion time: 5 - 10 minutes)

Download the flashcard quizzer and quiz files demoed in the video:

• flashcards.py
• french_food.txt
• state_capitals.txt

1. Open the flashcard quizzer in your text editor.
2. Read through the script. Think about these questions:
   • Why do we use the sys module?
   • What happens if you don't supply a flashcard file as a command line argument?
   • What is the variable f?
   • What is the purpose of the break keyword?
   • Think about one way that you could extend the script to make it more useful. How would you make that change in code?
