I am currently trying to take a randomly generated list and put it into a separate .txt file. I have been able to get the list into a separate file but the problem I have is that it repeats 5 times(or a different number depending what I put into the initial input of "Enter number of variables". I am looking for it to just write the randomly generated list one time and have struggled to do so. Any suggestions or tips?

with open('output.txt', 'w') as f:
   f.write('\n'.join(map(str, list)))
