Python, writing an integer to a '.txt' file

Question

Would using the pickle function be the fastest and most robust way to write an integer to a text file?

Here is the syntax I have so far:

import pickle

p         


        

Answer 1

Write

result = 1

f = open('output1.txt','w')  # w : writing mode  /  r : reading mode  /  a  :  appending mode
f.write('{}'.format(result))
f.close()

Read

f = open('output1.txt', 'r')
input1 = f.readline()
f.close()

print(input1)
