Exporting Inputed info to External File
Is there anything wrong with my code that would prevent this info from being put on an external .txt file. Any suggestions would be well appreciated.
/******************************************************************************
This program will ask a series of questions relative to your age, weight, and
will quantify the correct weight when living on the Moon, Mars and the Sun.
When imputing your age it will calculate the amount of decades you have been
around for, you don't have to input your actual age if you are feel so inclined
not to do so. After the questioning porcess is over, your information will be
exported to an external file. With all this said we shall begin to poke and prod
questions at you...

You are saving to that file only endline characters:
After this the content of your file would be three empty lines

Yes I see that, so any suggestions on how I might be able to fix this coding error. I would like the file to have the information like what my weight would be on a certain planet to be exported into the new .txt file, not three blank lines.
