I am trying to learn Python (but I just started a few hours ago). I'm
trying to translate this into Python.
initials = ['b', 'c', 'd']
medials = ['a', 'i', 'u']
finals = [' ', 'n', 's']
out_file = open("syllables.txt","w")
I'm not sure how to do the rest. Suggestions? I would like to be able
to add or subtract items in the lists of initials, medials and finals
without making any changes to the rest of the program.
