Q34: 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
found= False
eid=int(input("Enter employee id to uptheir. their salary :: "))
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()
fout.close()
(i) Which module should be imported in the program? (Statement 1)
(ii) Write the correct statement required to open a temporary file named temp.dat for writing the
updated data. (Statement 2)
(iii) Which statement should Aman fill in Statement 3 to read the data from the binary file, record.dat
and in Statement 4 to write the updated data in the file, temp.dat?
