guys,
its a text file i am writing to and when i write the first time its fine, i get
3 lines of input collected from a user and written to my text file, however if
i run the program again the next 3 lines begin at the end of the previous users
details. It works fine but starts from where the pointer left off. i dont
know how to solve this. where do i put the '\n'? to be honest the .join i
dont understand but otherwise it prints as a list e.g. ('name','age','etc')
