Programming fundamentals - Part 05: I/O, files and scripting

Input and output are key to computers. Without them, a computer is basically just a space heater, producing only a slight temperature increase with the computations it runs. Input and ouput (I/O) are how we dynamically bring data into our programs and how we are able to view the results of our computations. It also allows us to store data persistently in the file system on our disks. Technically…
