General Information

• The app is an implementation of different sorting, searching and IO methods meant to simulate the workings of
• YouTube in a Command-Line environment (ie. without the web element)
• The app lets you simulate playing and stopping videos, managing playlists and searching videos by name and tag
• This project was implemented as a submission to the Google Coding challenge for Bright Network Internship Technology 2021

Technologies Used

• Python - version 3.8

• NUMBER_OF_VIDEOS: returns the number of videos stored in the video library
• SHOW_ALL_VIDEOS: displays a list of all videos in the library by lexicographical order
• PLAY <video_id>: simulates playing a video specified using an alphanumeric id with no whitespaces
• STOP: simulates stopping the video that is currently playing
• PLAY_RANDOM: selects a random, unflagged video from the library and plays it
• PAUSE: simulates pausing the video that is currently playing
• CONTINUE: simulates resuming the video that was paused
• SHOW_PLAYING: displays the video that is currently being played along with its state (PAUSED or not)
• CREATE_PLAYLIST <playlist_name>: simulates creating a playlist
• ADD_TO_PLAYLIST <playlist_name><video_id>: simulates adding a video to a playlist
