How to add a line in a file?

Question

I was learning about files in python 3, making a .txt and trying to write things, and I wanted to write in line:

f=open("file.txt","w")
list=['hello',''how are you?']
for a in list:
        f.write(a)
f.close()

This is what I expected was:

Hello
How are you?

But the program write:

HelloHow are you?

How do I add a new line in the program?

Does this answer your question? [Correct way to write line to file?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6159900/correct-way-to-write-line-to-file) — UnholySheep, Dec 14 '19 at 18:25

You need to add the new line special character.

So here it would look like:

f=open("file.txt","w")
list=['hello','how are you?']
for a in list:
        f.write(a + "\n")
f.close()
