Introduction to File
Handling

 File handling in Python allows reading from
and writing to files.

 Key functions:
 - open()
 - read(), readline(), readlines()
 - write(), writelines()
 - close()
Opening Files

 Syntax: open(filename, mode)
 Modes:
 - 'r': Read
 - 'w': Write (overwrites file)
 - 'a': Append
 - 'b': Binary
 - 'x': Create
 - 'r+': Read and Write
Reading Files

 - read(): Reads entire file
 - readline(): Reads a single line
 - readlines(): Reads all lines into a list
Writing Files

 - write(): Writes string to file
 - writelines(): Writes list of strings
 Note: Always close the file using close() or use
with statement.
With Statement

 Using 'with' automatically closes the file:

 with open('file.txt', 'r') as f:


 data = f.read()

 No need to call close().


File Handling Modes

 Text Mode vs Binary Mode:
 - Text mode: Default, reads/writes string data
 - Binary mode: For non-text files (images, etc.)
 Use 'rb', 'wb', 'ab' for binary
