I can't get this reaction time tester to output the information to a csv file [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "float") to str
(3 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
import time
print("><><><><><><><><><><><><><")
print("> Reaction Time Tester <")
print("><><><><><><><><><><><><><")
name = input ("Please enter your first name: ")
time.sleep(1)
start=time.time()
text = input("Press enter on keyboard")
end = time.time()
duration = round(end-start,2)
print("Reaction Time: " + str(duration)+ "seconds.")
#Saving the results to a csv file
csv = (name + "," + duration + "/n")
win = open ("ClickTestResults.csv","a")
win.write(csv)
win.close()
time.sleep(60)
This is the error it shows when I run it:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\theun\Desktop\click test.py", line 20, in
csv = (name + "," + duration + "/n")
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "float") to str

csv = (name + "," + str(duration) + "/n")
or better
csv = f'{name},{duration}\n'
Edit: context added per comment advise from Carlo Zanocco
In the first example I kept the original format of the code, but the duration value is not a string and can not be concatenated with the other strings, so it is wrapped in the str function.
The second example is considered "better" because the formatting is easier to read and the duration is automatically converted to a string in the process.

Python - PING a list of IP Address from database

Python - PING a list of IP Address from database
I have a list of ip addresses consisting of 200 locations, which in that location there are 4 ip addresses that I need to do ping testing. I intend to make a command which when I write the name or code of a particular location then it will directly ping to 4 ip address at that location. I have learned a bit to create a list that contains the ip address I entered through the command input () like this :
import os
import socket
ip = []
y = ['IP 1 : ','IP 2 : ', 'IP 3 : ', 'IP 4 : ']
while True:
for x in y:
server_ip = input(x)
ip.append(server_ip)
break
for x in ip:
print("\n")
rep = os.system('ping ' + x + " -c 3")
please give me a little advice about the command I want to make so that I no longer need to enter the ip address one by one. which still makes me confused, especially on how to make the existing items in the database into a variable x which we will insert into this command;
rep = os.system ('ping' + x + "-c 3")

EDIT: It now iterates over a CSV file rather than a hard-coded Python dictionary.
I believe you will be better off using python dictionaries rather than python lists. Assuming you are using Python 3.X, this is what you want to run:
import os
import csv
# Save the IPs you want to ping inside YOURFILE.csv
# Then iterate over the CSV rows using a For Loop
# Ensure your ip addresses are under a column titled ip_address
with open('YOURFILE.csv', newline='') as csvfile:
reader = csv.DictReader(csvfile)
for row in reader:
rep = os.system("ping " + row['ip_address'] + " -c 3")

Why won't my python program work from the command line?

This is my code, in TestHash.py, and it won't compile. When I type python TestHash.py nothing prints on the command line.
#import Hash.py
from Hash import *
def testHash(radix, modulus, fName):
print("Using radix " + str(radix) + " and modulus " + str(modulus) + ".")
print(" Input | hash value")
file = open(fName)
for line in file:
for word in line.strip().split(' '):
if (word != ''):
print('{0:10s} {1:8d}'.format(word, hash(word, radix, modulus)))

If this is your whole program, then the program is actually running. It does not seem to run because everything is inside a function. The function is not automatically run - you need to call it to run it.
To call the function add this line to the end of your code:
testHash(radix, modulus, fName)
replacing radix, modulus, and fName with the proper values.

Arcpy - Creating a Buffer, then Dissolving in a single script

So I am attempting to write a script that has a number of user defined variables. I've gotten to the final step and can't seem to get it to dissolve things properly.
Purpose: The script should let me define a shapefile/layer file, a distance for the buffer to work with, create the buffer then dissolve it (This is where it fails) and save.
Here is what I have so far.
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
env.workspace = "C:\Users\...\Conroe Cut"
fc = raw_input (' What file is being Buffered' + " ")
distance = raw_input (' Buffer Size' + " ")
finalfile = raw_input (' Name of Final File' + " ")
unique_name = arcpy.CreateUniqueName("Results\\"+finalfile)
arcpy.Buffer_analysis(fc, unique_name, distance)
arcpy.Dissolve_management(unique_name, "SINGLE_PART", "DISSOLVE_LINES")
print "Finished with Analysis"

You can perform the buffer and dissolve in one line using arcpy.Buffer_analysis--make sure to specify the "ALL" parameter, which performs the dissolve. This should significantly simplify and clean your script.
import arcpy
infc = r'C:\path\to\input\shapefile.shp'
outfc = r'C:\path\to\output\shapefile_buffered_dissolved.shp'
bufferDistance = 20
arcpy.Buffer_analysis(infc, outfc, bufferDistance, "", "", "ALL")

Python - Trying to check input against range, then convert the variable into a string to be concatenated

first time posting here. I have searched high and low to figure out a way to do this, but I either don't understand how to apply existing answers to my code.
What I am trying to do is this: I want to take user input (a year), make sure it's between a range of years, and then if it is, concatenate it with an existing string as a variable.
The result of this code is that I get through and give all the necessary inputs, and then it fails with "fullInstr = str("cp -r /mnt/data/archive"+ fquery+ "/" + yquery+mquery+dquery+"/"+hquery+"*" + " " + outl2)

if os.path.isfile("/autocopy.sh"): #
overW = raw_input("This will overwrite the previous version. Do you want to continue? (y/n) ")
os.system("clear")
else:
os.system("clear")
if overW != "y":
os.system("clear")
sys.exit("No changes made.\n\n")

os.system("clear")

#! if error is <> 0 set finishMessage to print "Wasn't able to make the output file executable automatically. Use chmod to modify the file permissions manually on the file "+outf
#os.system("clear")
print finishMessage+"\n\n"
Stuff that is commented out is either not working or not implemented yet. I know the code quality is probably not the best, but this is my first time coding to do something I require. I have tried a lot of things like yquery = str(yquery) or just changing the fullInstr string to have str(yquery) in it and I can not get it to work. I am becoming frustrated.

You should use format for string formatting to avoid worrying about the type of variable being concatenated.
fullInstr = "cp -r /mnt/data/archive/{0}/{1}{2}{3}/{4}* {5}".format(fquery,yquery,mquery,dquery,hquery,out12)

That is because you need to convert the int to a str object.
fullInstr = str("cp -r /mnt/data/archive" + fquery + "/" + str(yquery) + mquery + dquery + "/" + hquery + "*" + " " + ^
outl2) ^
# ^ -> Use str to convert
The above code worked on my machine. Running windows 8. Python 2.7.5. I just had to change clear to cls.
