My text file has five numbers, 1-5
I don't what the problem is.
I've written the file using Word (saved as .txt ) as well as TextEdit
Python 3.4.1 on a Mac
Here's the code:
# Richard Dillon
# This program reads data from a .txt file and calculates a total
# data in text file: 1,2,3,4 and 5 for a total of 15
# error message: Non-numeric data found in the file
def main():
total = 0.0
try:
infile = open('/Users/richarddillon/Desktop/numbers.txt', 'r')
for line in infile:
amount = float(line)
total += amount
infile.close()
print(format(total, ',.2f'))
except IOError:
print('An error occured trying to read the file.')
except ValueError:
print('Non-numeric data found in the file.')
except:
print('An error occured.')
main()
