Python - Storing float values in CSV file - python-3.x

Question

I am trying to store the positive and negative score of statements in a text file. I want to store the score in a csv file. I have implemented the below given code:
import openpyxl
from nltk.tokenize import sent_tokenize
import csv
from senti_classifier import senti_classifier
from nltk.corpus import wordnet
file_content = open('amazon_kindle.txt')
for lines in file_content:
sentence = sent_tokenize(lines)
pos_score,neg_score = senti_classifier.polarity_scores(sentence)
with open('target.csv','w') as f:
writer = csv.writer(f,lineterminator='\n',delimiter=',')
for val in range(pos_score):
writer.writerow(float(s) for s in val[0])
f.close()
But the code displays me the following error in for loop.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\pc\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\classifier.py",
line 21, in for val in pos_score: TypeError: 'float' object is not iterable

Answer 1

You have several errors with your code:
Your code and error do not correspond with each other.
for val in pos_score: # traceback
for val in range(pos_score): #code
pos_score is a float so both are errors range() takes an int and for val takes an iterable. Where do you expect to get your list of values from?
And from usage it looks like you are expecting a list of list of values because you are also using a generator expression in your writerow
writer.writerow(float(s) for s in val[0])
Perhaps you are only expecting a list of values so you can get rid of the for loop and just use:
writer.writerow(float(val) for val in <list_of_values>)
Using:
with open('target.csv','w') as f:
means you no longer need to call f.close() and with closes the file at the end of the with block. This also means the writerow() needs to be in the with block:
with open('target.csv','w') as f:
writer = csv.writer(f,lineterminator='\n',delimiter=',')
writer.writerow(float(val) for val in <list_of_values>)
