Question

2. Define a function write_to_file(filename, text) that takes in a filename (a string) and a list of strings as arguments. Your function will open a file and write the contents of text onto the file. Each element in the list represents a separate line in the file, without newline characters. You will have to add the newline characters in yourself. This function does not return or print anything; it will create a new file.

Answer 1

Code Explanation:

1. call the write_to_file function by passing the file name and the list of strings
2. In the function first open the file in write format "w"
3. Then run a for loop until length of the text list
4. Then print each string to file  by using file = f.
5. Don't use just f. Use file = f.
6. Then after end of loop close the file f.

Points to remember:

The file will be created in the folder where you save your code

Code:

def write_to_file(filename, text):
    f  = open(filename,"w")
    for i in range(len(text)):
        print(text[i], file = f)
    f.close()
    
write_to_file("countries.txt",["USA", "England", "Ireland", "Canada", "Australia"])

Code Screenshot:

O/P:

output will be a file named countries1.txt with each string in the list on a seperate line.
