1.Define file and explain the different types of files.
Un archivo o fichero informático es un conjunto de bits que son almacenados en un
dispositivo.Python supports two types of files – text files and binary files.
2. Explain the different file mode operations with examples.
file_handler = open("example.txt","x")
file_handler = open("moon.txt","r")
file_handler = open("C:\langur.txt","r")
file_handler = open("C:\prog\example.txt","r")
file_handler = open("C:\\fauna\\bison.txt","r")
file_handler = open("C:\\network\computer.txt","r")
file_handler = open(r"C:\network\computer.txt","r")
file_handler = open("titanic.txt","r")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'titanic.txt'
9. >>> file_handler = open("titanic.txt","w+")
10. >>> file_handler = open("titanic.txt","a+")
3. Describe with an example how to read and write to a text file.
f = open("ARCHIVO.txt", "w")
f.write("abcdefgh")
f.close()
5. Illustrate with an example how to read and write a csv file.
import csv
def main():
with open('biostats.csv', newline='') as csvfile:
csv_reader = csv.reader(csvfile)
print("Print each row in CSV file")
for each_row in csv_reader:
print(",".join(each_row))
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
6. Describe all the methods available in the os module.
