Hi, I have wrote the below code for getting the serial number: look like i am able to get correct serial number:
from datetime import date def read_data_file(): with open("workfile.txt", 'r') as f: for line in f.readlines(): read_data = line.split(' ') return read_data def write_data_file(data): fo = open("workfile.txt", "w") fo.write(str(data)) fo.close() def comput_date(read_date, now_time, read_serial): if read_date == now_time: read_serial = int(read_serial) return read_serial + 1 else: read_serial = 1 return read_serial def process_sales_record(): now_time = time.strftime("%d-%m-%y") readdata = read_data_file() if readdata: read_serial = readdata[0] read_date = readdata[1] copute_date = comput_date(read_date, now_time, read_serial) serial_number = copute_date print serial_number sales_recrod = {'record1':'product1', 'record2':'product2','record3':'product3'} for i in sales_recrod: print sales_recrod[i] serial_number += 1 print serial_number data = str(serial_number) + ' ' + now_time writedata = write_data_file(data) print readdata Kindly suggest how can i improve this code now.... or is it okey in this way..
