Cs - Virginia.edu - File A Mode Using Print

The document contains Python code for functions that read data from a CSV file and write it to an output text file using different methods. Four functions are provided, demonstrating various ways to handle file input and output, including using 'with' statements for automatic file closure. Each function appends the data to a new output file while ensuring previously written lines remain intact.
