how do i make it print the multiplication table in the created file?

December 2, 2022

I’ve been trying to put a print statement inside the loop to no avail.

def individualizing_file(number: int) -> None:
    increasing_number: int = number
    with open(f"file_{increasing_number}.txt", "w") as f:
        f.write(f"Multiplication table for + {n}")
        for _ in range(10):
                #print(n*2) 

                increasing_number += n

if __name__ == '__main__':
    n = int(input("Enter a number between 1-9: "))
    individualizing_file(n)

Tried to put a print statement in the for loop but it prints nothing inside the file_n file.

>Solution :

You can use print(file=f):

def individualizing_file(number: int) -> None:
    with open(f"file_{number}.txt", "w") as f:
        f.write(f"Multiplication table for + {n}")
        for multiple in range(10):
            print(number * multiple, file=f)

Unlike using f.write, print automatically adds a newline at the end. It also accepts any type and not just strings.

For reference to more print options see: the documentation for print. For example if you want to change the ending character or separator.
