written in the file. what Iam I missing in the below program  ?

Program:

#!/usr/bin/python

import time
f = open ('test_2.txt','w+b')
DAY = time.strftime("%A")
f.write(DAY)
f.close()

Throttling-1# cat test_2.txt

(b) Iam trying to generate a file in the below format ,

cluster1# cat test_2.txt

Saturday 0:05 0:10
Saturday 0:10 0:20
Saturday 0:20 0:30
Saturday 0:40 0:50
Saturday 0:60 0:70
