8. Which function is used to close a file in Python?
a) end() b) close() c) stop() d) exit()
9. What does the 'r' mode in file handling do?
a) Opens the file for writing
b) Opens the file for reading
c) Opens the file for appending
d) Opens the file in binary mode
10. Which of the following is used to read all lines in a file at once?
a) read() b) readlines() c) readline() d) next()

11. What does the 'w' mode in file handling do?


a) Opens the file for writing, creates the file if it does not exist, and truncates the
file if it exists.
b) Opens the file for reading and writing.
c) Opens the file for appending.
d) Opens the file in binary mode for writing.

12. In which mode does the file pointer start at the end of the file?
a) 'r' b) 'w' c) 'a' d) 'r+'
13. What happens if you try to read a file in 'w' mode?
a) File will be opened for reading.
b) File will be opened for writing.
c) File will not open and will show an error.
d) File will be created if it does not exist.

newfile.txt?

print(f.read())
f.close()

FILL UPS :

1. The _______ function is used to open a file in Python.


2. To write data into a file, the file must be opened in _______ mode.

3. The _______ method reads all the lines from a file and returns them as a list.

4. In Python, the _______ method is used to read one line from a file.

5. The _______ function is used to close a file after it has been opened.

6. The _______ mode is used to open a file for reading only in Python.

7. In Python, to append data to a file without overwriting its existing content, the
file should be opened in _______ mode.

8. To create a new file for writing, the _______ mode is used.

9. The _______ method reads the entire content of a file at once.

10. When a file is opened in _______ mode, it can be both read from and written
to.

11. If the file is opened in _______ mode, and it doesn't exist, Python will create a

12. The _______ method is used to remove the newline character from each line
when reading a file.
13. If a file is opened in _______ mode, it will be opened for reading and writing
in binary format.

15. The _______ function is used to delete a file in Python.

1. Program to count the number of words in a file.


Problem: Write a Python program to count the number of words in the file sample.txt.

Solution:
file = open("sample.txt", "r")
content = file.read()
words = content.split()
print(f"The number of words in the file is: {len(words)}")
file.close()
Explanation:
 The file is opened in read mode ('r').
 The content of the file is read using read().
 The split() method splits the content into words (based on spaces), and len() is
used to count the number of words.
 The file is closed after reading.

2. Program to find and replace a word in a file.


Problem: Write a Python program that will find and replace the word Python with Java
in the file sample.txt.

Solution:
file = open("sample.txt", "r")
content = file.read()
content = content.replace("Python", "Java")
file.close()
file = open("sample.txt", "w")
file.write(content)
file.close()
print("Word replaced successfully.")
Explanation:
 The file is opened in read mode to read its content.
 The replace() method is used to replace the word "Python" with "Java".
 The file is reopened in write mode to overwrite the file with the modified
content.

3. Program to read file line by line.


Problem: Write a Python program to read and display each line of the file sample.txt
one by one.

Solution:
file = open("sample.txt", "r")

print("Reading the file line by line:")


for line in file:
print(line.strip()) # Strip the newline character
file.close()
Explanation:
 The file is opened in read mode ('r').
 The for loop is used to read the file line by line.
 The strip() method is used to remove the newline character from the end of each
line.
 The file is closed after reading.

4. Program to check if a file exists or not.


Problem: Write a Python program to check whether the file sample.txt exists or not.

import os
if os.path.exists("sample.txt"):
print("The file 'sample.txt' exists.")
else:
print("The file 'sample.txt' does not exist.")

Explanation:
 The os.path.exists() method is used to check whether the file exists or not.
 If the file exists, it prints a message indicating its existence, otherwise, it prints
that the file does not exist.

5. Program to count the number of lines in a file.


Problem: Write a Python program to count the number of lines in the file sample.txt.

Solution:
file = open("sample.txt", "r")
line_count = 0
for line in file:
line_count += 1
print(f"The number of lines in the file is: {line_count}")
file.close()
