Python: TypeError: write() takes exactly one argument (2 given)

Question

count = 100

start = input("Welcome to Reign of Terror \n 1-Start Game 2-Highscores")
if start == "2":
    hisc = open("highscore.txt", "a+")
    hisc.write(count,"\n")

When I run the code and choose 2, I get the error

TypeError: write() takes exactly one argument (2 given)

Answer 1

Write takes one string, not two.

if start == "2":
    with open("highscore.txt", "a+") as hisc:
        hisc.write("{}\n".format(count))

Also, use with so your file gets closed after writing.

Answer 2

@kabanus answered this, thanks!

It says exactly what the error is. Pass a single argument hisc.write(str(count)+"\n") will work." – kabanus

So this is the correct code:

hisc.write(str(count)+"\n")
