The program should be able to perform at least these tasks: Show all movies that are carried in the machine Show only movies or games currently available to rent Rent a movie or game Return a movie or game Show all movies with a specific genre (e g. comedy, action, etc) and/or from a given year to the current year. Things that can be assumed: After a movie game has been confirmed that it can be rented, it is immediately paid for and can be marked as unavailable Everyone renting is old enough to rent movies or games of any level rating (rated G to R; rated E to A) Only one person will be renting or returning at a time. (every time the program is executed will represent a new person coming to rent or return) All movies and games will have at least a name, genre, year released and rating. Some movies and or games will be unavailable when a person comes to the machine

a=open("list.txt","a+")
b=a.readlines()
movies=[]
for line in b:
sline = line.split(" ")
movies.append(sline)
l=""
for i in sline:
l+=i+" "
print(l)
#asking the user for input
print(" Please Select the option: 1.Rent a movie 2.Return a movie.")
inp = int(input("Enter the option 1 or 2:"))
#checking the input for renting the movie
if(inp==1):
sno = int(input(" Enter the S.No of the movie to Rent:"))
if(movies[sno][5][:-1]=="Unavailable"):
print(" The movie that you are asking is Unavailable.")
else:
print(" Thank you for choosing %s."%movies[sno][1])
movies[sno][5]="Unavailable "
#checking the option for returning
elif(inp==2):
sno = int(input(" Enter the S.No of the movie to Return:"))
print(" Thank you for returning %s."%movies[sno][1])
movies[sno][5]="Available "
else:
print("No such option is found.")
