# The readlines() method returns a list containing each line in the file as a list item.
# Use the hint parameter to limit the number of lines returned. If the total number of bytes returned exceeds the specified number, no more lines are returned.

# Syntax
# file.readlines(hint)

# Parameter Values
# Parameter	        Description

f = open("demofile.txt", "r")
print(f.readlines(33))
