Create a To-Do List Manager using python

#python #pythonminiproject #beginners #tutorial

Step 1: Set up your development environment
Ensure you have Python installed on your computer. You can download Python from the official website: https://www.python.org/downloads/. You'll also need a code editor or IDE, like Visual Studio Code, PyCharm, or Jupyter Notebook.

Step 2: Plan the structure of your To-Do List
Think about what features your To-Do List Manager should have. At a minimum, it should be able to:

Add tasks
View tasks
Mark tasks as done
Remove tasks

Step 3: Create a Python script
Start by creating a Python script (e.g., todo_manager.py). You can use a class-based approach for better organization. Here's a simple example:

class ToDoList:
    def __init__(self):
        self.tasks = []

    def add_task(self, task):
        self.tasks.append(task)

    def view_tasks(self):
        for i, task in enumerate(self.tasks, start=1):
            print(f"{i}. {task}")

    def mark_task_as_done(self, task_number):
        if 1 <= task_number <= len(self.tasks):
            self.tasks[task_number - 1] += " (Done)"
        else:
            print("Invalid task number")

    def remove_task(self, task_number):
        if 1 <= task_number <= len(self.tasks):
            del self.tasks[task_number - 1]
        else:
            print("Invalid task number")

def main():
    todo_list = ToDoList()
    while True:
        print("\n===== To-Do List Manager =====")
        print("1. Add Task")
        print("2. View Tasks")
        print("3. Mark Task as Done")
        print("4. Remove Task")
        print("5. Quit")
        choice = input("Enter your choice: ")

        if choice == "1":
            task = input("Enter the task: ")
            todo_list.add_task(task)
        elif choice == "2":
            todo_list.view_tasks()
        elif choice == "3":
            task_number = int(input("Enter the task number to mark as done: "))
            todo_list.mark_task_as_done(task_number)
        elif choice == "4":
            task_number = int(input("Enter the task number to remove: "))
            todo_list.remove_task(task_number)
        elif choice == "5":
            break
        else:
            print("Invalid choice. Please try again.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
