Answer 1

What's not working is the foul language in it!

Fix that, and we'll talk about the rest.

Answer 2

Hey... I suddenly have an original and never in this thread already written idea:

Let's store the return value!!!

Answer 3

You can use function too, but then you have to return the file from the function.

That would look like this:

def open_file():
f = open("my_life.txt", "w+")
return f

my_file = open_file()

Answer 4

I don't think it would work.

You open that file within a function, but after the function ends, it will be forgotten.

Using my_file should lead to an error message.

If you just open that file outside, without the function, it should work.

Answer 5

Can you copypaste the code again?

Answer 6

HonFu did that!!!plz explain the rest

Answer 7

ohh is it so

Answer 8

You didn't correctly copy what I wrote above.

A function returns a value exactly to the point from where it was called.

But if there's no pot to catch it, it all goes to waste.

my_file = open_file()
^
pot!

Answer 9

When you return something from a function, you need to store it somewhere.

my_file = ...

Answer 10

*sigh*

Answer 11

If a function is returning something it has to be stored too😐

Answer 12

HonFu hmm yeah it does...but then do i ve to write the open function every time i write the close function...dont u think that's too much repetition of code

Answer 13

nope bro HonFu i tried to return the file in function too.... but still i m getting the name error back

Answer 14

HonFu
def open_file():
my_file = open("my_life.txt", "w+")
return my_file
open_file()
my_file.write("life doesnt work until u do\nso stop giving a worry bout ur conditions n start working ur butt off")
my_file.close()
open_file()
print(my_file.read())

Answer 15

HonFu i didnt get wt u said bro

Answer 16

I think because you don't store in a variable when you return my_file.
Like: file = open_file()
