Explanation of the Code:

1. File Operations:

o load_tasks(): Reads tasks from a file (tasks.txt) and returns


them as a list. If the file doesn't exist, it returns an empty list.

o save_tasks(): Writes the tasks list back to the file, one task per
line.

2. Core Functions:

o add_task(): Adds a new task to the list and saves it to the file.

o remove_task(): Removes a task from the list by its number


(provided by the user) and saves the updated list.

o show_tasks(): Displays all current tasks, with each task labeled


by its number.

3. User Interaction:

o The main loop presents a menu to the user with options to view
tasks, add a new task, remove a task, or exit.

o It continuously prompts for user input and responds accordingly.

Features:

 Persistent Data: Tasks are stored in a text file (tasks.txt), so they


remain even after the program ends.

 Simple User Interface: A text-based menu that allows the user to


view, add, and remove tasks easily.
 Basic Error Handling: Handles invalid input like entering a non-
integer for task removal.

Improvements (Optional):

 GUI: You can extend the application by adding a graphical user


interface (GUI) using libraries like Tkinter.

 Advanced Features: Add features like task prioritization, due dates,


or even task categories.

 Sort Tasks: Implement sorting by task names or due dates.

 Mark Tasks as Complete: Add an option to mark tasks as complete


(perhaps by moving them to a "Completed Tasks" list).

This simple Python project will give you hands-on experience with file I/O,
functions, lists, and basic user interaction.
