with a special character known as EOL (End line and no character translations occur
 of Line) character. here.
28. i) What is the purpose of the finally clause of a try-catch-finally statement?
The finally clause is used to provide the capability to execute code no matter
whether or not an exception is thrown or caught.
ii) What are the advantages of exception handling?

wr.writerow(lst)
 fout.close ()
def COUNTR ():
fin = open (“record.csv”, ‘r’, new line = “\n”)
data = csv.reader (fin)
d = list (data)
print (len (d))
fin.close ()
ADD ()
COUNTR ()
35. Aman is a Python programmer. He has written a code and created a binary file record.dat
with employeeid, ename and salary. The file contains 10 records. He now has to update a
record based on the employee id entered by the user and update the salary. The updated
record is then to be written in the file temp.dat. The records which are not to be updated also
have to be written to the file temp.dat. If the employee id is not found, an appropriate
message should to be displayed. As a Python expert, help him to complete the following code
based on the requirement given above:
import _______ #Statement 1
def update_data():
rec={} fin=open("record.dat","rb")
fout=open("_____________") #Statement 2

while True:
try:
rec=______________ #Statement 3
if rec["Employee id"]==eid:
found=True rec["Salary"]=int(input("Enter new salary :: "))
pickle.____________ #Statement 4
else:
pickle.dump(rec,fout)
except:
break
if found==True:
print("The salary of employee id ",eid," has been updated.")
else:
print("No employee with such id is not found")
fin.close()
