27. Aman is a Python programmer. He has written a code and
created a binary file record dat with employee id, 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 Pickle
def update_data():
rec ={ }
fin =open( "record.dat" ,"rb")
fout=open("temp.dat", " w")
found=False
eid = int(input("Enter employee id to update their salary :: "))
while True:
try:
rec=pickle.load(fin)
if rec["Employee id"] == eid :
found = True
rec["Salary"] = int(input("Enter new salary :: "))
pickle. dump(rec, fout)
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()

28. A binary file "STUDENT.DAT" has structure (admission number,

Name, Percentage), Write a function countr in Python that would
read contents of the file "STUDENT.DAT" and display the details of
those students whose percentage is above 75. Also display number
of students scoring above 75%.

import pickle
def CountRec():
fobj = open("STUDENT.DAT","rb")
 num=0
try :
while True:
rec = pickle.load(fobj)
if rec[2] >75:
print(rec[0], rec[1], rec[2], sep= "\t")
num = num + 1
except:
fobj.close()
return num

29. Write a program to increase the salary by Rs. 2000/- of the

employee having empno as 1251 in the file empl.dat.

fin =open( empl.dat', 'rb+')
try:
while True :
emp =pickle. load(fin)
if emp['Empno"] == 1251:
emp['Salary'] = emp['Salary'] + 2000
pickle.dump(emp, fin)
print(emp)
found=True
except EOFError:
if found == False:
print("Sorry, no matching record found.")
else:
print("Record(s) successfully updated.")
fin.close()

30. What is the advantage of using a csv file for permanent storage?
Write a Program in Python that defines and calls the following user
defined functions:

a) ADD() – To accept and add data of an employee to a CSV file

‘record.csv’. Each record consists of a list with field elements as
empid, name and mobile to store employee id, employee name and
employee salary respectively.

b) COUNTR() – To count the number of records present in the CSV

file named ‘record.csv’.

Advantage of a csv file:

 It is human readable – can be opened in Excel and Notepad applications It
is just like text.

31. Give any one point of difference between a binary file and a CSV
file.

Write a Program in Python that defines and calls the following user
defined functions :

(a) add(). To accept and add data of an employee to a CSV file

'furdata.csv'. Each record consists of a list with field elements as fid,
fname and fprice to store furniture id, furniture name and furniture
price respectively.

(b) search(). To display the records of the furniture whose price is

more than 10000.

The difference between a binary file and CSV file is that binary files are used
for storing complex data in a non-human-readable format and they store
data in a sequence of bytes, while CSV files are plain text files used for
storing structured tabular data in a human-readable text format.

Let the file "furdata.csv" include following data:

[1, table, 20000]

[2, chair, 12000]
[3, board, 10000]
import csv
def add():
f1= open('furdata.csv', 'a')
writer = csv.writer(f1)
fid = input("Enter furniture id: ")
fname = input("Enter furniture name: ")
fprice = float(input("Enter furniture price: "))
writer.writerow([fid, fname, fprice])
print("Record added successfully to 'furdata.csv'")

def search():
found = False
f1= open('furdata.csv', 'a')
reader = csv.reader(f1)
print("Records of furniture with price more than 10000:")
for row in reader:
if len(row) == 3 and float(row[2]) > 10000:
print("Furniture ID:", row[0])
print("Furniture Name:", row[1])
print("Furniture Price:", row[2])
print()
found = True

if found == False:
print("No records of furniture with price more than 10000 found")

add()
search()

32. Write a function that reads a csv file and creates another csv file
with the same content except the lines beginning with 'check'.

import csv
def filter(input_file, output_file):
fin = open(input_file, 'r',)
fout= open(output_file, 'w',)
reader = csv.reader(fin)
writer = csv.writer(fout)

for row in reader:

if row[0].startswith('check'):
 writer.writerow(row)

filter('input.csv', 'output.csv')
