How Do I Save All User Inputs To A Notepad text File In Python 3.5

Question

I've made a program for my GCSE Coursework and need some help regarding saving all of the users inputs to a text file in notepad can any help would be greatly appreciated

the code is

print("Use Yes Or No For Answers That Require It") 
from datetime import datetime #imports time package count=0 #sets count to 0 
    while True: 
        count +=1 
        if count >3: 
            break 
        name=input("what is your name\n") 
        yob=int(input("what is your yob\n")) 
        year = datetime.now().year #sets year 
        age=year-yob # sets age as a constant 
        print("so you are",age,) 
        user_input=input ("is this correct\n") 
        if user_input==("yes"): 
            print("nice") 
        else: 
            print("oops, you must be",age-1)

Have you tried anything? Like `inputFile = open("inputs.txt", 'w')` and then writing to it? Are you using a library? How are you getting user input? — matt, Jul 05 '17 at 09:31

could you edit the code and send back the text file is named on my computer as data_file — BENNAY, Jul 05 '17 at 09:42
Can you edit the question and add your code example, with formatted code. — matt, Jul 05 '17 at 10:19
I cant do the formatted code as the school only has python in the IT rooms — BENNAY, Jul 05 '17 at 12:38

For the example you have pasted, I would add the write to the statement where you confirm if everything is correct.

    if user_input==("yes"): 
        print("nice")
        with open('file.txt', 'a') as outfile:
            outfile.write("%s\t%d\t%d\n"%(name, yob, year))
    else: 
        print("oops, you must be",age-1)

Although, you could put it anywhere. Check this answer for a bit more information about writing files in python,
