1.

Develop a prg to sort the contents of the text file and write sorted contents to a separate

text file

Program:

namelist = open('namelist.txt')

names = namelist.readlines()

namelist.close()

names = [name.strip() for name in names]

names.sort()

sorted_file = open('sorted_namelist.txt', 'w')

for name in names:

sorted_file.write(name + '\n')

sorted_file.close()

2. Use string methods like strip, length. List methods, sort method and file methods Open,

readlines, write.

strip(): Removes whitespace from beginning and end.

len(): Returns the number of characters in a string.

sort(): Sorts list in ascending order.

open(): Opens a file.

readlines(): Reads lines into a list.

write(): Writes content to a file.

Example:

lines = open('data.txt').readlines()

lines = [line.strip() for line in lines]


lines.sort()

with open('sorted_data.txt', 'w') as f:

f.writelines([line + '\n' for line in lines])

3. Explain moving and renaming files in shutil module and deleting in shutil module.

shutil.move(): Moves or renames a file or directory.

shutil.os.remove(): Deletes a file.

Example:

import shutil, os

shutil.move('old.txt', 'new_folder/new.txt') # Move & Rename

os.remove('new_folder/new.txt') # Delete

4. What is meant by compressed files. Explain reading, extracting, and creating zip files.

Compressed files reduce file size.

Use 'zipfile' module.

Example:

import zipfile

# Creating zip

with zipfile.ZipFile('archive.zip', 'w') as zipf:

zipf.write('file1.txt')

# Extracting zip

with zipfile.ZipFile('archive.zip', 'r') as zipf:

zipf.extractall('extracted')
# Reading contents

with zipfile.ZipFile('archive.zip', 'r') as zipf:

print(zipf.namelist())

5. Explain concepts of organizing files using shutil module with suitable examples

shutil helps automate file operations.

Example:

import shutil

shutil.copy('report.txt', 'backup/report.txt') # Copy file

shutil.move('backup/report.txt', 'archive/report_backup.txt') # Move file

6. Explain with examples topic of copying and pasting strings with pyperclipmodule

pyperclip module is used to copy/paste text.

Example:

import pyperclip

pyperclip.copy("Hello")

text = pyperclip.paste()

print(text)

7. Define absolute and relative path with examples

Absolute Path: Complete path from root (e.g. C:\Users\Rishav\file.txt)

Relative Path: Path relative to current directory (e.g. folder\file.txt)

8. Difference between os and os.path module. Discuss 4 methods: chdir, walk(), listdir(),

getcwd()

os handles system operations. os.path handles file paths.


os.chdir(): Changes current directory.

os.listdir(): Lists files in directory.

os.getcwd(): Returns current working directory.

os.walk(): Yields root, dirs, files.

Example:

import os

os.chdir('C:\NewFolder')

print(os.listdir())

print(os.getcwd())

for root, dirs, files in os.walk('.'):

print(root, dirs, files)

9. Describe reading and writing files in python with suitable examples

Read:

with open('file.txt', 'r') as f:

data = f.read()

Write:

with open('file.txt', 'w') as f:

f.write("New content")

10. How do we specify and handle absolute relative path

Use os.path functions.

Example:

import os
absolute = os.path.abspath('file.txt')

print("Absolute:", absolute)

relative = os.path.relpath('C:\Users\file.txt', 'C:\Users')

print("Relative:", relative)

11. Explain concepts of startswith and endswith string methods and join and split with

examples

startswith(): Checks start of string.

endswith(): Checks end of string.

join(): Joins list into string.

split(): Splits string into list.

Example:

text = "Hello World"

print(text.startswith("Hello")) # True

print(text.endswith("World")) # True

words = ['Python', 'is', 'fun']

print(' '.join(words))

sentence = "Learn Python"

print(sentence.split())

12. Explain following string methods with example: join, islower, strip, center

join(): Joins list to string.

islower(): Checks if string is lowercase.


strip(): Removes whitespace.

center(): Centers string.

Example:

s = 'python'

print(s.islower())

items = ['one', 'two']

print('-'.join(items))

text = ' hello '

print(text.strip())

print('hi'.center(10, '*'))
