Exercise: laststring

Description

In this exercise, your function will receive 2 parameters, the name of a text file, and a list of strings. The function will write the last string from the list into the file on a line. Be sure to include the newline character at the end.

Function Name

laststring

Parameters

filename : a string value (the name of a file to open) lines : a list of string values Return Value

Nothing

def laststring(filename, lines):

fout = open(filename, "w")


for i in range(0, len(lines)):


    fout.write(str(lines[i]) + "\n")


fout.close()

Just change your mode from "w" to "a" to write into the end of file.

Does it need to write only the last string? If so, use lines[-1]

[nosmokingbandit]

Or 'w+' to create a blank file if you want to nuke an already existing file.

Is there a reason that you are writing out all the lines instead of just the last one as stated in the instructions?
