Explanation of the Code:
1. File Operations:
o load_tasks(): Reads tasks from a file (tasks.txt) and returns
them as a list. If the file doesn't exist, it returns an empty list.
o save_tasks(): Writes the tasks list back to the file, one task per
line.
2. Core Functions:
o add_task(): Adds a new task to the list and saves it to the file.
o remove_task(): Removes a task from the list by its number
(provided by the user) and saves the updated list.
o show_tasks(): Displays all current tasks, with each task labeled
by its number.
3. User Interaction:
o The main loop presents a menu to the user with options to view
tasks, add a new task, remove a task, or exit.
o It continuously prompts for user input and responds accordingly.

Features:
Persistent Data: Tasks are stored in a text file (tasks.txt), so they
remain even after the program ends.
Simple User Interface: A text-based menu that allows the user to
view, add, and remove tasks easily.
Basic Error Handling: Handles invalid input like entering a non-
integer for task removal.
Improvements (Optional):
GUI: You can extend the application by adding a graphical user
interface (GUI) using libraries like Tkinter.
Advanced Features: Add features like task prioritization, due dates,
or even task categories.
Sort Tasks: Implement sorting by task names or due dates.
Mark Tasks as Complete: Add an option to mark tasks as complete
(perhaps by moving them to a "Completed Tasks" list).
This simple Python project will give you hands-on experience with file I/O,
functions, lists, and basic user interaction.
