Hello!I'm using python 2.7.5 version and I'm trying to write a program related to a file named unsorted_fruits.txt contains a list of 26 fruits, each one with a name that begins with a different letter of the alphabet. My program's goal is to read in the fruits from the file unsorted_fruits.txt and writes them out in alphabetical order to a file named sorted_fruits.txt while I'm using while loop For this assignment you must incorporate the use of a list, for loop and / or while loop. so here is what I have on my script: infile = open('Desktop/unsorted_fruits.docx' ,"r") outfile = open('Desktop/sorted_fruits.docx', 'w') def find(): index = 0 while index < 26: list < 26 list = ["a", "b", "c", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n" "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "z", "y", "z"] if index[0] == list[0]: infile = list + 1 print infile index += 1 infile.close() outfile.close() And here is my output: Python 2.7.5 (default, May 15 2013, 22:43:36) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information. >>> ================================ RESTART ================================ >>> Traceback (most recent call last): File "F:/7.real.py", line 1, in <module> infile = open('Desktop/unsorted_fruits.docx' ,"r") IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'Desktop/unsorted_fruits.docx' >>>
Once you have fixed the file name error which Steven has already pointed out, do you intend to call the function find that you have defined? If yes can I suggest that you use paper and pencil to work out what it does, or more accurately doesn't do, as it's strewn with errors.
