how do you check if the starting value of a file is "S" if: content = file.read() first = content[0] last = content[-1]

Answer 1

Hi Melissa, it looks like you're just about there! You actually just need to check if your variable "first" is "S":

file = open("file_name.txt", "r")

content = file.read()

if content[0] == "S":

print("file begins with S")
