Question

Write a script using the while loop construct that generates 100 randomly generated numbers between 0 and 99 and writes them out in a user specified filename.

Answer 1

In python:

import random

lst = ([])

i = 0

while i < 100:

   lst.append(str(random.randint(0,99)))

   i += 1

txt = " ".join(lst)

file = input("What file do you want to save your numbers to? ")

try:

   f = open(file, 'a')

   f.write(txt)

   f.close()

except FileNotFoundError:

   f = open(file, 'x')

   f.close()

   new_f = open(file, 'a')

   new_f.write(txt)

   new_f.close()
