Day 18 of learning python as a beginner. Topic: match case and modular programming. Some suggested me to use match case instead of my usual if else statements as match case are more readable and appears more clear and organised. At that time I was juggling with modular programming which took me a day or two to understand and now using those two things I tried to create a social media platform (not exactly what you think but can say a basic platform). match cases are just like if else statements but are more readable and scalable than the if else. It was first introduced in python 3.10 and is refered as structural pattern matching. on the other hand modular programming is just breaking a bigger code into smaller reusable blocks and then importing those blocks in a single main.py file. I first tried to create a basic authentication (not from database of course) which will save and verify user's credential when he/she enters it and allow user to write a post, view it, edit it, and delete it once the authentication is done. I decided to make credentials.txt file human readable also and therefore all the data is store in "Username: xyz, Password: xyz" format and that's why it was important for the program to remove this "Username:" and "space" so that it checks only the thing which is needed and therefore I used .replace to replace all those unnecessary decoration. Then I use match cases to compare the credentials saved in the credentails.txt file (note that there is a feature of sing up and login so here I am talking about the login as only already signed up people have their information saved). then I use match cases for calling functions (I have used match cases in almost every place where I used to use if else statements). I used modular programming to break the code into two bocks first of authentication and second of all the main features which I called in my main.py where I assembled all the blocks and created the result. I would really appreciate your suggestions and challenges which will help me develope a more deeper understanding and also improve my code. And here's my code and its result.

Why are we still coding in programming languages when plain but exact English statements should be used to define what functions and methods should do. Just a vision: 1. Let everyone (not only developers) write modular functions with plain English d
