Found a bug in Python course. Got a pass despite incorrect output!

Question

In the Python section 48.2: "Writing Files".

Expected output:

John
Oscar
Jacob

My output:

JohnOscarJacob

However, my output was marked as correct!

My code

names = ["John", "Oscar", "Jacob"]

file = open("names.txt", "w")
#write down the names into the file

for n in names:
file.write(str(n))

file.close()

file= open("names.txt", "r")
#output the content of file in console

for line in file:
print(line)

file.close()

Savager ,

to get each item in a separate line in the file, we need to add a *new-line sequence* ('\n') at the end of each line.

when reading the file content, each line contains now the *new-line sequence*, that has to be removed before printing. otherwise we get an empty line between each printed output.
