   Add Logging to tally.py

   You should add logging to tally.py. Create a separate log file for each item. The file should be named <item-number>.log. The log level should be info and each log message should be date:level:message. Finally, log the final tally message.

   tally.py:

   import logging
   
   def tally_votes(data):
       """
       the example voting data and operations are in the __main__ section
       write code that will ask for user input for item number being voted on
       create a log file named <voting item>.log
       tally votes and log each vote
       using: tally = f"Item: {voting_item} Yes: {yes} No: {no}"
       return tally
       """
       voting_item = input("What is the item number for this vote? ").strip()
       file_name = f"{voting_item}.log"
   
       logging.basicConfig(
           filename=file_name,
           format='%(asctime)s:%(levelname)s:%(message)s', level=logging.INFO)
   
       yes = 0
       no = 0
       for vote in data:
           if vote == 'y':
               yes += 1
           else:
               no += 1
           # log vote
           logging.info(vote)
   
       tally = f"Item: {voting_item} Yes: {yes} No: {no}"
   
       logging.info(tally)
   
       return tally
   
   if __name__ == "__main__":
       voting_data = ["y", "n", "y", "y", "y", "n"]
       tally = tally_votes(voting_data)
       print(tally)
   

2. Challenge

   Review the Log File

   Review the log file using cat <logfile> (replacing <logfile> with whatever the file is called).

   Congratulations! You have shown that you can do basic logging.
