Python 3.3 Ash

The document describes an experiment on file handling in Python. It contains 5 programming tasks: 1) Create 26 text files with letters A-Z, 2) Create a file listing the alphabet in blocks of 5 letters per line, 3) Read a random line from a file, 4) Count the frequency of words in a file, and 5) Copy the contents of one file to another. For each task, it provides the code sample and output. The overall aim is to demonstrate basic file handling in Python.

Experiment - 3.3

Student Name: Ashwani Kumar UID:21BCS4688


Branch: BE- CSE Section/Group:713/A
Semester: 4th Date of Performance:11-05-23
Subject Name: Programming with Python Subject Code:21CSP-259

Aim of the practical: Program to demonstrate the basis of File Handling.

Objective: To learn the basis of File Handling.

1. Write a Python program to generate 26 text files named A.txt, B.txt, and so on up to
Z.txt
Code:-
import string

for letter in string.ascii_uppercase:


filename = f"{letter}.txt"
with open(filename, "w") as file:
file.write(f"This is the file {filename}.")

Output

COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

2. Write a Python program to create a file where all letters of English alphabet are listed
by specified number of letters on each line

Code-

import string
num_letters_per_line = 5
alphabet = string.ascii_uppercase

with open("alphabet.txt", "w") as file:


for i in range(0, len(alphabet), num_letters_per_line):
line = alphabet[i:i+num_letters_per_line]
file.write(line + "\n")

Output:

3. Write a Python program to read a random line from a file

Code:

import random
filename = "alphabet.txt"
with open(filename, "r") as file:
lines = file.readlines()
random_line = random.choice(lines)
print(random_line.strip())
Output:

4. Write a Python program to count the frequency of words in a file

Code:
filename = "alphabet.txt"

word_counts = {}

with open(filename, "r") as file:


for line in file:
words = line.strip().split()
for word in words:
if word in word_counts:
word_counts[word] += 1
else:
word_counts[word] = 1

for word, count in word_counts.items():


print(f"{word}: {count}")

Output:

5. Write a Python program to copy the contents of a file to another file

Code:

source_file = "alphabet.txt"
destination_file = "destination.txt"

with open(source_file, "r") as source, open(destination_file, "w") as destination:


contents = source.read()
destination.write(contents)

print(f"Contents of {source_file} copied to {destination_file} successfully!")

Output:
