I'm using the following code:
import csv
f = csv.writer(open("pe_ratio.csv","w"))
def factorial(n):
results = 1
# results are one because that is the minimum number
while n >= 1:
results = results * n
# results * nth number of n
n = n - 1
# n - 1
# two variables are affected in this program results and n
return f.writerow([results])
print factorial(4)
file.close()
And I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pe_ratio.py", line 23, in <module>
print factorial(4)
File "pe_ratio.py", line 21, in factorial
return f.writerows([results])
_csv.Error: sequence expected
I suspect I will need to read the CSV documentation and do it in-depth to figure out this problem. What I am trying to accomplish is to get the csv file to write in a row factorial(4)'s result. I have tried taking out the print function for factorial(4) and the program stalled. Thanks for the help in advance.
