Python:
Python is a high-level, versatile and dynamically-typed
programming language known for its readability and
simplicity. Created by Guido van Rossum and first
released in 1991, Python emphasizes code readability and
ease of use, making it an excellent choice for beginners and
experienced developers alike. It supports multiple
programming paradigms, including procedural, object-
oriented, and functional programming.

Python’s syntax is clear and concise, using indentation to

define code blocks rather than relying on explicit braces or
keywords. It has a comprehensive standard library,
offering modules and packages for a wide range of tasks,
from web development to data analysis, machine learning
and scientific computing.

The language is widely adopted across various industries

and has a vibrant community contributing to its growth.
Python’s popularity can be attributed to its simplicity,
versatility, and extension ecosystem of libraries, making it
a powerful tool for both small scripts and large-scale
applications.
Code Explanation
The code is structured into several functions, each responsible for a
specific operation related to guest management. Below is a detailed
explanation of each function:

 add_guest()
This function allows the user to input guest details (name,
room number, and phone number) and appends this
information to a file named guests.txt.

 view_guests()
This function reads the guests.txt file and displays the
details of all guests. If the file is not found, it informs the
user that no guests are present.

 search_guest()
This function prompts the user to enter a guest's name and
searches for that guest in the guests.txt file. If found, it
displays the guest's details; otherwise, it informs the user
that the guest was not found.

 delete_guest()
This function allows the user to delete a guest's
information by name. It reads all guests from the file,
excluding the specified guest, and rewrites the file without
that guest's entry.
 update_guest()
This function enables the user to update a guest's room
number and phone number. It searches for the guest by
name and modifies the details accordingly.

 main()
This function serves as the main menu for the application.
It presents the user with options to add, view, search,
delete, or update guest information. The loop continues
until the user chooses to exit.

PROS AND CONS:
Pros:
1. Simplicity: The code is straightforward and easy to understand,
making it accessible for beginners learning Python and file handling.
2. Functionality: The application provides essential functionalities for
managing guest information, including adding, viewing, searching, deleting,
and updating guest records.
3. File Handling: The use of text files for data storage is a simple method
for persistent data management, allowing for easy access and
updates.
4. User Interaction: The program interacts with users through a console-
based menu, making it user-friendly and easy to navigate.
5. Error Handling: Basic error handling is implemented (e.g., checking if the
guest file exists), which helps prevent crashes when the file is not found.
6. Modularity: The use of functions for each operation promotes code
reusability and makes it easier to maintain or expand in the future.
Cons:
1. Data Integrity: The current implementation does not enforce any data
validation. For example, it does not check if the phone number is in a
valid format or if the room number is valid.
2. Concurrency Issues: The application does not handle concurrent access to
the guests.txt file, which could lead to data corruption if multiple instances
of the program are run simultaneously.
3. Limited Search Functionality: The search function only allows searching by
name, which may not be sufficient in larger datasets. Implementing more
robust search options (e.g., by room number or phone number) would
enhance usability.
4. No Backup or Recovery Mechanism: If the guests.txt file is
accidentally deleted or corrupted, all data would be lost.
Implementing backup functionality would mitigate this risk.
5. Scalability: As the number of guests increases, the performance of the
application may degrade since it reads the entire file into memory for
operations like search, update, and delete. Using a database would be
more efficient for larger datasets.
6. User Experience: The console interface is basic and lacks graphical user
interface (GUI) elements. A GUI would improve user experience
significantly, especially for users unfamiliar with command-line
operations.

Conclusion
The Hotel Management System project demonstrates fundamental
programming concepts and file handling in Python. While it has several
advantages, such as simplicity and basic functionality, there are also
notable limitations that could be addressed to enhance the application's
robustness and usability. Future improvements could include data
validation, a graphical user interface, and the use of a database for better
data management.
