Question

code:

date=int(raw_input("Date:"))
ammount=int(raw_input("Ammount:"))
desc=str(raw_input("Description:"))
account=str(raw_input("Account:"))

def addEntry(date, ammount, desc, account):
    transact=open("transactions.txt", "w")
    transact.write(date, ammount, desc, account)
    transact.close()

addEntry(date, ammount, desc, account)

gives

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\tbank.py", line 11, in <module>
    addEntry(date, ammount, desc, account)
  File "C:\tbank.py", line 8, in addEntry
    transact.write(date, ammount, desc, account)
TypeError: function takes exactly 1 argument (4 given)

how can i make it work?

Answer 1

date=int(raw_input("Date:"))
ammount=int(raw_input("Ammount:"))
desc=str(raw_input("Description:"))
account=str(raw_input("Account:"))

def addEntry(date, ammount, desc, account):
    transact=open("transactions.txt", "w")
    transact.write('%s, %s, %s , %s' % (date, ammount, desc, account))
    transact.close()

addEntry(date, ammount, desc, account)
