Binary files-

Main points

 Binary files having extension- .dat , .bin


 Module used for binary files - pickle

Syntax - import pickle

 Method to write/read in binary file- dump()/load()

o dump()- This method is used to convert (pickling) Python objects for writing data in a
binary file.

Syntax of dump() is as follows:

dump(data_object, file_object)
e.g pickle.dump(L,f1)
e.g
import pickle
L=[1,"Geetika",'F', 26]
f1=open("mybinary.dat", "wb")
pickle.dump(L,f1)
fileobject.close()
 load()-This method is used to load (unpickling) data from a binary file.

Syntax of load() is as follows:

Store_object = load(file_object)

e.g. a= pickle.load(f1)

e.g import pickle


f1=open("mybinary.dat","rb")
a=pickle.load(f1)
f1.close()
print(data)
