Topic 13: Question 2: Create a function that appends the name and email to the end of a named file.

This is the code I wrote:

def addEmail(filename, name, email):
    f = open('filename', 'a') 

    f.write("%s\n" % name)
    f.write("%s\n" % email)
    f.close()

    return f

This is the output that I get on pyschools website:

Test Cases                                          Expected Result Returned Result Result
addEmail('email.txt', 'john', 'john@gmail.com').closed  True          True  

Private Test Cases                                   Passed            Failed

What am I doing wrong?

    Take a closer look at the sample output:

    >>> addEmail('emails.txt', 'Mary', 'mary@gmail.com') # content is 'Mary mary@gmail.com\n'
>>> addEmail('emails.txt', 'John', 'john@gmail.com') # content is 'Mary mary@gmail.com\nJohn john@gmail.com\n'

    Note that in that output, the name and email are on the same line, separated by a space. You are putting the name and email on separate lines. Try changing your code to the following:

    f.write("%s %s\n" % (name, email))
