Answer 2

Oluwadurotimi Efunshile ,

not sure if this is what you wanted to see. i have put comments to the code.

file = open("books.txt", "r")
books = file.readlines()
for book in books: # outer loop to get each line of the txt file
tmp = [] # buffer list that is used to collect the first letter of each word
for word in book.split(): # inner loop to split each line to individual words
tmp.append(word[0]) # take each individual word, get the first letter and store it in list
print("".join(tmp)) # print the collected letters from each line
file.close()
