bookSaving and Sharing Results

When you want to share your work or keep a record for later, saving your results to a file is a practical skill. In Python, you can write text files using the open(), write(), and close() functions. Writing to a file means you can store summaries, reports, or any information you've generated during your daily tasks, making it easy to review or distribute your findings.

# Saving a summary of expenses to a text file expenses_summary = "Total spent this week: $215.30\nBiggest expense: Groceries - $75.00\nLowest expense: Coffee - $5.50" file = open("expenses_summary.txt", "w") file.write(expenses_summary) file.close()

When saving files, always use clear and descriptive names, such as "expenses_summary.txt" or "weekly_report.txt", so you can easily identify their contents later. It's important to handle potential errors, like trying to write to a file that is read-only or on a full disk. Using the with statement is a best practice because it automatically closes the file, even if an error occurs, and helps prevent data loss or file corruption.
