A common task for a programmer is to write data from program variables to a file. This can be done by opening the file and writing each line of data individually, but this approach can become unwieldy if there is more than one variable that needs to be written. The out file object simplifies this process by defining an object that can take in arguments containing the values needed for the different parts of an output file: header, value-separator, format, etc.
These arguments are then used when creating new out files or writing to existing ones. The out file object also provides a convenient way to write data from an entire collection of variables. This can be done by passing the name of the variable (or list thereof) in place of each argument needed when creating or writing to new files.
When using this method, it is important that all values used are string-type and ordered as they should appear in output file, with headers at first positions followed by other values separated by value separator. Hint: You may want to add more content about how one might use the out file object here. For example: “A common task for a programmer is to write data from program variables to a file.” Be sure not include any numbers or bullet points.
