i want if txt file is empty or if any number which is score is greater than any number in txt file , update the txt file , here is my code
def game(): return 115 score = game() with open("highscore.txt") as f: highScoreStr = f.read() if int(highScoreStr)<score or highScoreStr=='': with open("highscore.txt","w") as f: f.write(str(score))
it is giving error
if int(highScoreStr)<score or highScoreStr=='': ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

I don’t think it is possible to pass an empty string through int()
Since you know it starts as an empty string you’re probably better off writing 2 if
statements:
if highScorStr == '': with open("highscore.txt","w") as f: f.write(str(score)) if int(highScoreStr)<score: with open("highscore.txt","w") as f: f.write(str(score))
