hey folks, I have a question for my homework where I need to add words and a definition to a glossary then make a user aware that the word/definition has been added to the glossary file so far my program works as it should, it asks the user to press a certain key to see a word from the glossary that gets imported from the csv thing then prompts the user to press enter to see the definition of the word, and also has the option to stop the program, i need to make another definition to add more but I'm so lost trying to do it can anyone help with this? code I have is below, if possible can any help be kept as low level as possible so I can understand it fully? thanks in advance people.
