A Python library of assorted functions

GateLib

This is a Python library of (somewhat) general-purpose functions I've made while writing programs. Older versions of this file can be found in several of my other repos, but I'll keep the most up-to-date version here. Every function in this library is written by me unless stated otherwise. Some highlights include the following:

makeChoice

A function that asks a multiple choice question.

encodeSeed, decodeSeed, and verifySeed

Functions for converting a set of user choices to/from a seed (a generated integer or string).

File Path Management

Functions that do things with file paths, such as writing a value to a file at a given address, splitting a file path into an array of its components, or creating a directory, even when its parent directories currently don't exist.

Array Management

Functions that do things with arrays, such as counting how many values overlap between two arrays, or checking if one array is an ordered subset of another.

Console/Terminal Management

Functions that alter the console output, such as clearing the screen or erasing the most recent lines.

String Manipulation

Functions that print strings for specific scenarios, such as formatting a long string to add line breaks after N characters with defined indents, or converting a number of bytes to its most significant form (e.g. "5000000" becomes "4.769 MB")
