Mad Lib program using Python -

automate boring stuff python has project in chapter 8: create mad libs program reads in text files , lets user add own text anywhere word adjective, noun, adverb, or verb appears in text file.

it needs create new text file , print results screen.

my solution causes blank new file created , shows nothing in terminal. using python 3.5.1 on os x.

#! /usr/bin/env python3   open("/users/maverick/madlibproject1.txt", "wt") fout:     open("/users/maverick/madlibproject.txt", "r") fin:         line in fin:             if line == "adjective":                 adj == input('enter adjective:\n')                 fout.write(line.replace('adjective', adj))             elif line == "noun":                 nou == input('enter noun:\n')                 fout.write(line.replace('noun', nou))             elif line == "adverb":                 adv = input('enter adverb:\n')                 fout.write(line.replace('adverb', adv))             elif line == "verb":                 ver = input('enter verb:\n')                 fout.write(line.replace('verb', ver))  fname = "/users/maverick/madlibproject1.txt" project = open(fname, 'r') data = project.read() print(data) 

take @ code:

data = "a adjective noun verb adverb noun verb noun" part_of_speech in ["adjective", "noun", "adverb", "verb"]:     while data.find(part_of_speech) > -1:         data = data.replace(part_of_speech, input("enter %s: " % (part_of_speech.lower())), 1)  print(data) 

some things understand exmaple:

• documentation input()
• documentation replace()
• documentation find()

also try adding print(line) under loop understand program better. others have said, debugging skills 1 of important things you'll learn develop programming.
