Answer 1

import random

def random_number_file_writer(nums):

   f = open("random.txt", "w")

   i = 0

   while i < nums:

       f.write(str(random.randint(1,500))+"\n")

       i += 1

   f.close()

def random_number_file_reader():

   f = open("random.txt", "r")

   total = 0

   count = 0

   for x in f.readlines():

       total += int(x)

       count += 1

   print("The total of the numbers is "+str(total))

   print("The number of random numbers read from the file is "+str(count))

def main():

   random_number_file_writer(int(input("How many random numbers do you want to generate? ")))

   random_number_file_reader()

main()

I hope this helps!
