Incorrect code output (File not being created) - Hass - Dec-31-2018
Hello,
As a newbie I wrote the following code.
temperatures = [10, -20, -289, 100]
def temp_convert(temperatures):
with open("temps.txt", 'w') as myfile:
for c in temperatures:
if c > -273.15:
f = c* 9/5 + 32
myfile.write(str(f) + "\n") My understanding is that this will create a file called temps.txt and this file will have 4 temperatures in it.The code executes without any error messages.
However the file is not being created in the directory.
I am using python 3.7 in the Eclips IDE on windows 7.
I would really appreciate if someone can point out to me where I am going wrong.

You need to call the function and pass the temperatures to it. I would add this at the bottom:
if __name__ == '__main__':
convert(temperatures)

Hi Thanks for pointing out one of the mistakes.
I have added in the following line of code after myfile.write
temp_convert(temperatures)Unfortunately its still not working. I am calling the temp_convert function and passing it a value but still there is no output.

Add some print statements to tell what is happening. Say, one after the open file, and one to print each c as you go through the loop.

What indentation did you add it at? It needs to be added flush left, completely unindented.
