Specifications

• This program should read the text file named wizard_all_items.txt, which is attached to this Dropbox, that contains all the items a wizard can carry.
• When the user selects the walk command, the program should randomly pick one of the items that were read from the text file and give the user the option to grab it.
• The current items that the wizard is carrying should be saved in an inventory file. Make sure to update this file every time the user grabs or drops an item.
• The wizard can only carry four items at a time. For the drop command, display an error message if the user enters an invalid integer or an integer that doesn't correspond with an item.
• Handle all exceptions that might occur so that the user can't cause the program to crash. If the all items file is missing, display an appropriate error message and exit the program.
• If the inventory file is missing, display an appropriate error message and continue with an empty inventory for the user. That way, the program will write a new inventory file when the user adds items to the inventory.
