Question

I am a beginner and just started learning Python couple days ago (yay!)

so i’ve come across a problem. when i run, this code outputs everything but the text (txt in file is numbers 0-10 on seperate lines)

def output():
    xf=open("data.txt", "r")
    print xf
    print("opened, printing now")
    for line in xf:
        print(xf.read())
        print("and\n")
    xf.close()
    print("closed, done printing")  

Answer 1

This should print out each number on its own line, like you want, in a lot less code, and more readable.

def output():
    f = open('data.txt', 'r').read()
    print f
