You can use try-except-finally block: try: file = open(filePath, 'w') file.write("Hello World!") except IOError: print("Unable to create file on disk.") finally: file.close()

It's recommended to close the file after using it. f = open("demofile.txt", "r") # some code f.close()

You're best bet is to use a context manager to open the file (ex. The 'with'). That would be similar to an example in the comments. with open("file.txt", 'r') as f: #your code You don't have to close the file with this method either because it's being used in a context manager and when the code you right finishes executing it will close the file for you. You can also use context managers for other things as well, such as sockets.

#your code goes here weight=int(input()) height=float(input()) if weight//height**2<18.5: print("Underweight") if weight//height**2<25: print("Normal") if weight//height**2<30: print("Over weight") if weight//height**2==30: print("Obesity") SAMPLE INPUT=85 1.9 SAMPLE OUTPUT=Normal
