dictionary output to text file (beginner)

[Delg_Dankil]

I'm trying to learn Python and I got stuck on something.
I'm looping through a dictionary and I'm printing out keys and their associated dictionary values.
I now want to take this output from my loop and instead of printing it to the screen, I need to write it to a text file.

here is an exmple from the web-

with open('datafile1.txt', 'a') as f:
    f.write('\n')
    f.write('monkey')
    f.write('\n')
    f.write(str(15))

I understand how this works, but how do I do the same for my loop? To further complicate things, I don't know if any of my data will throw an error because
its value is numneric and not a string.

Here is my loop that correctly prints my dictionary elements and values.
I need help in how I can redirect the output to a text file.

print("\nThis prints the key and its associated values")
for person in data['returnData']:
     print(f"Elid: {person['elid']}, Last Name: {person['name']}")

Thanks for taking a look.

Please, use proper tags when post code, traceback, output, etc. This time I have added tags for you.
