*so far I have this and the format is what i want:* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Set all necessary variables name = None fileOut = open('outputFile.txt', 'w')
total = 0 averageScore = 0 numofScores = 0 score = 0 # Header for output file fileOut.write("Bowling Report\n" + ("-" * 40) + "\n") # Iterate line by line through file to get names and their corresponding scores for line in open('bowlingscores.txt', 'r'): line = line.strip() if line: if line.isdigit(): score = int(line) numofScores += 1 total += score averageScore = total / numofScores # Get average score # Decides where bowler stands compared to the average score if score < averageScore: score = "\tBelow average" elif score > averageScore and score != 300: score = "\tAbove average!" elif score == 300: score = "\tPerfect score!" else: name = line # Checks to see if name and score have values if name and score: fileOut.write('%s\t%s\r\n' % (name, score)) name, score = None, None fileOut.close() ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *the problem is that it's not comparing the first bowler's score to the average score and the output file looks like this: * Bowling Report ---------------------------------------- David 120 Hector Perfect score! Mary Below average * is the logic in my if-elif statements wrong or is it just skipping the first bowler's score? * On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 8:26 AM, Glen Zangirolami <digitalma...@gmail.com>wrote: > All lines that come back from a text file come back as strings.
