python program that prints number of characters, words and lines in a file

Question

I am new to programming in Python and wanted help writing a python program that prints number of characters, words and lines in a file. For example say the name of the file is time.txt

Answer 1

You have to learn about work with files in python.

https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/inputoutput.html - python v. 2.*

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/inputoutput.html - python v. 3.*

This part of documentation will help you:

with open('time.txt', 'wb') as f:
    f.write('sometext')
    f.write(some_string_variable)
with open('time.txt', 'rb') as f:
    s = f.getlines()

And, next time - search info about your problem first - it can be already solved.
