`List`ing the notes after manual modification will not update the program

[nichyjt]

Description

While running BadMath, as per the program constraints of needing the file to be human editable, I added in some valid inputs to the notes.txt file. Initially, the file was empty.

LOW N   0   foo
LOW N   1   foo1
LOW N   0   foo2
LOW N   1   foobar      fooobararar

Upon List, no notes are shown to exist.

Shouldn't the list be updated based on whatever is edited on the file?

Team's Response

Regarding the issue you raised about modifying the notes.txt file while the program is running, unfortunately, the behavior is currently not supported in the current version. The program is designed for users to focus on handling math problems as the main feature, with the note feature being a supplementary feature.

In order to maintain stability and reliability, it is recommended that users keep from modifying the notes.txt file while the program is running. However, users are free to edit the file before running the program or after exiting the program.

We understand that this may be inconvenient for some users, and we appreciate your suggestion of allowing concurrent modification of the notes.txt file in future versions of the program.
