python - How can I create a path for file.write to follow when opening a file in append

Question

am trying to use file.write() to write the results of a score-calculating program into a file named Score.txt but when it is run the file is left blank, How can I find where a text file is being created or specify the path it should take to write the text file?

The file is stored in the same folder as the text file I am trying to edit f= open("Score.txt", "a")

country = input('what country?
')
gold = int(input('how many gold medals does the country have?
'))
gold=gold*3
silver =int(input('how many silver medals does the country have?
'))
silver=silver*2
bronze = int(input('how many bronze medals does the country have?
'))
total = gold + silver + bronze
total = str(total)
print(country, 'got', total)
f.write('
')
f.write(country)
f.write('
')
f.write('
 = 
')
f.write('
')
f.write(total)
f.write('
')
f.write('test')
f.close()

Answer 1

The text file should be created in the same directory that you are running your python script.

This is because you haven't changed the path of your f= open("Score.txt", "a")

You can also declare a relative path or absolute path to your Score.txt file.

Absolute path open Score.txt from an absolute location

f = open(r"C:my_programsScore.txt","a")

Relative Path open myFile from the parent directory of current python script.

f = open("../Score.txt","a")
