# A program that can reformat text files and rewrap the text
# in it to a specified width.
#
# 1) ask the user for the name of a file.
# 2) ask the user for the desired width of a line.
# 3) read the content in the file and output
# it as a long string.
# 4) Now we rewrap the texts in the file:
# 4.1) we first split the texts into a list of words
# and create an empty CNNList. Then we use a for
# loop to add each word into the CNNList.
# 4.2) We have another function called "formating"
# which will turn the CNNList into a string and
# and return True if the string is in right format.
# Otherwise, return False.
# 4.3) The next function works when the "formating" returns True.
# It will add the correct string to a new empty list named
# writeBakeText. It then delete all the items in CNNList
# except the last one which is not included in the string with
# desired format.
# 4.4) To be noticed, after the for loop terminates, the last string
# has not been added into our list-"writeBAckText". Thus, we need
# to turn the last CNNList into a tring and add it into writeBackText.
# Return writeBackText.
# 5) Finally, we can write the rewraped texts back to the file. We use "\n"
# to join the writeBackText intoa string. Then write the string back to
# the file.
#
# An example of the format of Input( marked by star ) :
# Please enter the file name: *CNN.txt*
# Please enter the wrapping width: *30*
#
# An example of the output: (the text which would be written
# back to the file.)
# Washington (CNN) -- If you're
# rich and want to give money to
# a lot of political campaigns,
# the Supreme Court ruled
# Wednesday that you can. The
# 5-4 ruling eliminated limits
# on how much money people can
# donate in total in one
# election season. However, the
# decision left intact the
# current $5,200 limit on how
# much an individual can give to
# any single candidate during a
# two-year election cycle. Until
# now, an individual donor could
# give up to $123,200 per cycle.

# This program asks the user for the name of a CSV file containing the data,
# opens it, filters it,goes through all the lines and keeps track of the earthquake(s)
# with the largest magnitude. If several earthquakes have the same largest
# magnitude, it will keep track of all of them.and output the location of the
# strongest earthquake recorded.
#
# 1) ask the user for the name of a file. Open the file and get a list of all lines
# in the file.

# Country where 100.0 quakes were recorded: Chile, Indonesia,Owen Fracture Zone

# 2) makes a copy of the list without the first line in it and makes a new variable

# and stores it int he variable magMax.
# 3) go through all the lines in the list, collect all the countries with the
# maximum magnitude and store those countries in a list named country.
# 4) turn the list of country to a string and make two print statements. The first
