🔒 Problem with outputting to a file

[solemn crystal]

Hello everyone, I have to output a fibonacci sequence to a file, I tried to do this with a for loop and \n characters to output one number of the series on a new line, however both of these goals fail and I feel stuck, here's the code, my apologies for the Dutch variable names: ```py
fib_cache = {}
memoteller = 0
bestandsnaam = 'fib.txt'

def fibonacci_memoization(n):
global memoteller, fib_cache
if n <= 0:
return 0
elif n == 1:
return 1

Check if the result is already within the cache.

if n in fib_cache:
return fib_cache[n]

If not, calculate it recursively and store it in the cache.

fib_value = fibonacci_memoization(n - 1) + fibonacci_memoization(n - 2)
fib_cache[n] = fib_value
memoteller +=2
return fib_value
for i in range(500):
with open(bestandsnaam, 'w') as doc:
doc.write(str((fibonacci_memoization(i)))+'\n')

expected output: 0\n1\n1\n2\n3\n5\n8\n...
actual output for i in range(500): 86168291600238450732788312165664788095941068326060883324529903470149056115823592713458328176574447204501

Thanks in advance.

It is also important to mention that I dont think that there are any malfunctions in the algorithm itself, I did test it but perhaps I'm wrong after all.

After taking a closer look, it only writes the last element to the document, when using the same logic but by printing it out to the terminal, both problems dont occur.

Nevermind, solved it.
