hi, i am doing a mock controlled assessment in computer science, in which i am allowed to do research outside of the lesson, so doing this is breaking no rules. In the program that i have been asked to create, i need to create a piece of code where i have to let the user register, log in, and add there scores to their account. I also need to make sure that when a user is registering, they are not using a name that has already been used. I know that to do this i need to read and write from a text file. I've tried the answers that google and other websites are giving me, but i just get logic or syntax errors. Has anyone got any advice on what type of file i use or how to do any of this?
thanks
ps,( i dont know how the link works where you can put your code in, i'm trying, if it doesn't work, i apologise)
