Answer 2

Hi Edward Marais

Use the file open() function to open a document containing the values.
You can take input with the input() function.
use if else statements to tell the program what to do if said number is pressed.
use the read() method for reading the content of the file.
use the print() function to print to the terminal (console)

Search for the functions I mentioned and you'll surely find examples for how to do this.
If you get stuck provide your code bit. And we can help you when in doubt.
