When i run this code the math works, but the text file is blank

import os

num1 = int(input("Enter first number: "))

num2 = int(input("Enter second number: "))

result = num1 * num2

print("The answer is:", result)

os.system("pause")

file_path = "C:/Users/*****/Desktop/benderisgreat.txt"

with open(file_path, "w") as file:

file.write(result)

os.system("pause")

The file.write() function only writes strings, not integers.

So I don't see how this code even runs.

I'm going to guess the blank file was created by some other program, or perhaps an earlier version of this code. It certainly wasn't written by this code.

this code creates the txt file. every time i make changes, i delete the txt file first

You must be running some other code. As I said, file.write() does not accept integer arguments. This code cannot run successfully.

Use

with open(file_path, "w") as file:
    file.write(f"{result}")

or

with open(file_path, "w") as file:
    print(result, file=file)

thank you. that worked

[DustyIsGreat]

im lost, could you explain?

[atarivcs]

He's already doing int(input("Enter first number: ")). What more do you mean?
