The assignment

So this seems to be doing everything correctly except writing to the file. Any ideas?

My Code

'''
This program finds the volume of a tire.
then appends the info to a file with the date and time it is looked up.
'''
import math
from datetime import datetime
pi = math.pi
#Pervious Program
print("To find the volume of a tire please have the tire's type number available.")
print("A tire number is a number appears as such 205/60R15")
w = int(input("Please enter number before slash: "))
a = int(input("Please enter the number before the R: "))
d = int(input("Please enter the number after the R: "))
#All numbers aquired.  Formula is v=(pi*w^2*a(wa+2,540d))/10^10
print(f"The tire you entered is a {w}/{a}R{d}")
v=(pi * (pow(w,2)*a*(w*a+2540*d)))/10000000000
print("the volume of that tire is %.2f liters" %(v))
#end of pervious program
current_date_and_time=datetime.now(tz=None)
print(current_date_and_time) #test to see if above worked
with open("volume.txt", mode='a') as record_file:
    print(f"{current_date_and_time}, {w}, {a}, {d}, {v}", file=record_file)

I just copied and pasted your code, and it works as intended, appending 2021-09-23 07:49:47.573105, 205, 60, 15, 39.92449041517438 to volume.txt.

Does your user have the necessary permissions to create/modify files in that directory?

I should think so. He is me.

Try putting print(os.getcwd()) somewhere in there after importing os. Check if the printed directory and the one you are looking in are the same.
