Description
In this assignment, you are going to write a program that simulates a planner. The program allows the user to
add a new event to the planner, display all the events currently stored in the planner, or to quit the program.
Since this is a planner, the data needs to be saved to a file called planner.txt so that the events in the planner
aren’t lost each time the program ends. In the file, each event will be written in the same format. Your file
MUST be in this format.
If the user chooses to add an event, ask them to enter the date, time, location, and name of the event. Then, write
them to the information to the file in the correct order. If the user chooses to display the events in the planner,
print out all the events in the file, in the order they appear in the file. If there are no events in the planner, print a
message saying no events have been added. If the user chooses to quit, the program ends.
Using a temporary file to store the events will be useful when adding an event.
