Im trying to write a code where user puts in their score (a number), and then they put in their name. both the score and name gets stored in a text file (alongside with '\n', so that every new couple gets stored on the new line).
hscores = open("highscores.txt", "a")
hscores.write(str(score))
hscores.write(" ")
hscores.write(nickname)
hscores.write("\n")
hscores.close()
then, I open the text file, take every input in there, sort it by highest to lowest and output it:
hscores22 = open("highscores.txt", "r")
listings2 = hscores22.readlines()
sorting2 = sorted(listings2, reverse=True)
print "| 1 | " + sorting2[0]
print "| 2 | " + sorting2[1]
print "| 3 | " + sorting2[2]
print "| 4 | " + sorting2[3]
print "| 5 | " + sorting2[4]
print "| 6 | " + sorting2[5]
print "| 7 | " + sorting2[6]
print "| 8 | " + sorting2[7]
print "| 9 | " + sorting2[8]
print "| 10 | " + sorting2[9]
The problem is that python thinks that number that starts with the biggest number, is bigger, for example: 90>1000, 50>100 (I suppose thats because i have to convert all the numbers to strings before storing them in the text file). is there any way i could fix this? thanks in advance.
