Beginning Python

Starting with creating our data file data.txt:

data.txt
12
54
7
332
54
1
0

As before we start with defining a variable count to start at zero. We increase it by 1 each time around the loop and print it out at the end:

file.py
total = 0
count = 0

with open("data.txt") as f:
    for line in f:
        number = int(line)
        total += number
        count += 1

print("Sum of all", count, "values is:", total)
$
python file.py
Sum of all 7 values is: 460
