Lesson 5 Homework

# Writes a list to a file

fruit = ["apples", "oranges", "pears", "grapes", "bananas", "snozberries"]

myfile = open("myfile.txt", "w")

for x in range(0, len(fruit), 1):
myfile.write(fruit[x]+" ")
myfile.close()

myfile = open("myfile.txt", "r")

contents = myfile.read()
print(contents)


# BONUS
# .join() turns a list into a string.
# Specify the separator character
# BEFORE .join() - like this:
# print(", ".join(fruit))

# We create a variable called joinedFruit
# and join the list items into it

'''
joinedFruit = ", ".join(fruit)

myfile = open("myfile.txt", "w")
# Then we write joinedFruit to the file
myfile.write(joinedFruit)
myfile.close()

myfile = open("myfile.txt", "r")

contents = myfile.read()
print(contents)
