Python code help for Write High score to file only to a HighScore.txt

I have the write to a file wortking but I need this to look at the total of the person playing and when exit and save the file to be looked at and see if the score being saved is higher than ther high score in the .txt file. if yes then just write the file only with the new high score number and name

I need to look for the file and create if does not find it.

The Try/Except block in python allows the programmer to catch expected errors in code. For example, FileNotFoundError will arise of the script attempts to read a file that does not exist.

In this class activity, enhance your Guessing Game with High Scores to handle the possibility of the highscores.txt file of not being available to your script. Below is the try/except format: example of what is needed------

try:

file = open("HighScore.txt", "r") line = file.readline()

except FileNotFoundError as err:

print("Oh no! Cannot find the file.") then create file using ----with open('HighScore.txt', 'a') as writeFile:

------below is my code--- Please type answer!

while guesses >= 1: # player guesses guess = int(input('What is your guess? ')) if comp_num == guess: # if correct says well done input(' Well Done! You guessed Correctly! ') # player doesn't get told what the number is if there right winCount = winCount + 1 num = num + 1 break elif comp_num >= guess: # if guess is too low tells player # one live taken for incorrect guess guesses = guesses - 1 print(' Too low!
