Difficulty with reading file

Write a function named "file_to_int_list" that takes no parameters and returns a list of integers. The function will read a file named "continued.txt" and returns the contents of the file in an array with each line of the file as a separate values in the data structure. You must convert each line to an integer and you can assume each line is a well-formed integer. (My code below)

def file_to_int_list():
    with open("continued.txt", 'r') as f:
        content = f.read()
        return content.split(',')

I am getting the returned value as ['12\n2\n4\n7\n17\n1\n-2\n'] when I input in the values from continued.txt. How do I get the input as [12, 2, 4, 7, 17, 1, -2]?

You need to iterate over each line and convert it to integer:

def file_to_int_list():
    result = []
    with open("continued.txt", 'r') as f:
        for line in f:
            result.append(int(line))
    return result
