CHAPTER – 4FILE HANDLING

[TEXT FILE, BINARY FILE AND CSV FILE]

ASSERTION & REASONING

1. A: A file is a bunch of bytes.
R: Byte is a unit of memory
2. A: File created by notepad cannot be access in python
program.
R: A text file can be created by Notepad.
3. A: The full name of a file or a directory is called Absolute
path.
R: relative path is relative to current working directory
4. A: The relative paths are relative to current working
directory.
R: The relative path for a file always remains same even
after
changing the directory.
5. A: When you open a file for writing, if the file does not
exist,
an error occurs.
R: When you open a file for writing, if the file exists, the
existing file is overwritten with the new file.
6. A: Text file stores information in ASCII or unicode
characters.
R: In text file, there is no delimiter for a line.
7. A: File can be opened in append mode.
R: In append mode file content does not get overwritten
and
user can append the content after existing content.
8. A: EOL character is a line terminator in text file.
R: By default, EOL Character is the new line character in
Text File.
9. A: with statement can be used to open any file, be it csv file
or binary file and while using with statement to open
any
file there is no need to close the file.
R: with statement groups all the statements related to file
handling and make sure to close the file implicitly. It
closes the file even when any error occurs during the
execution of statements in a with statement.
10. A: It's mandatory to mention file mode while opening a file
for reading.
R: By default, the file opens in read mode.
11. A: Binary file stores data in a format understand easily by
the computer hardware.
R: Computer hardware only understand the binary
language.
12. A: File can be opened using open() function and
“with open() as f:” syntax.
R: Once a file is opened it can‟t be closed
13. A: pickle.load( ) deserialise the python object
R: Deserialise object process involves conversion of
python object into string.
14. A: CSV files are used to store the data generated
by various social media platforms.
R: CSV file can be opened with MS Excel.
15. A:
d={'a':12, 'b':10}
f=open('data.dat', 'b')
f.write(d)
f.close( ) => Python object d is serialised onto file using file
object f.
R:
d={'a':12, 'b':10}
f=open('data.dat', 'wb')
pickle.dump( d,f)
f.close( ) => Python object d is serialised onto file using file
object f
16. A: If a text file already containing some text is opened in
Write mode the previous contents are overwritten.
R: When a file is opened in write mode the file pointer is
Present at the beginning position of the file.
17. A: The „with‟ block clause is used to associate a file object
to a file.
R: It is used so that at the end of the „with‟ block the file
resource is automatically closed
18. A: When we open the file in write mode the content of the
file will be erased if the file already exist.
R: Open function will create a file if does not exist, when
we reate the file both in append mode and write mode.
19. A: The readline( ) method reads one complete line from a
text file.
R: The readline( ) method reads one line at a time ending
with a newline(\n). It can also be used to read a
specified number (n) of bytes of data from a file but
maximum up to the newline character(\n)
20. A: The file access mode „a‟ is used to append the data in
the file.
R: In the access mode „a‟ the text will be appended at the
end of the existing file. If the file does not exist, Python
will create a new file and write data into it.
21. A: Python overwrites an existing file or creates a non-
existing file when we open a file with „w‟ mode .
R : 'a+' mode is used only for write operations
22. A: open() is a method of python.
R: open() method is used to open a file in Python and
it returns a file object called file handle. The file
handle is used to transfer data to and from the file by
calling the function defined in Python‟s io module.
23. A: Serialization is the process of transforming data to a
stream of bytes
R: It is also known as Picking
24. A: The The CSV File is delimited File.
R: Only Comma (,) can be use as delimiter in CSV file.
25. A: To specify a different delimiter while writing into a csv
file, delimiter argument is used with csv.writer ().
R: The CSV file can only take a comma as a delimiter
26. A: We can open a CSV file in the same way as a text file for
reading and writing data.
R: A CSV file is a text file that uses a delimiter to separate
values.
27. A: To open a CSV file employee.csv in write mode, we can
give python statement as follows:
fh=open('employee.csv‟)
R: If we try to write on a csv file that does not exist, the file
gets Created.
28. A: While writing data to csv file, we set the value of
parameter newline to "" in the open() function to
prevent blank rows.
R: EOL translation is suppressed by using newline="".
29. A: CSV (Comma Separated Values) is a file format for data
storage which looks like a text file.
R: The information is organized with one record on each
line and each
30. A: Binary file is faster than text file, so it is mostly used for
storing data.
R: Text file stores less character as compared to the binary
file.
31. A: with statement can be used to open a file and should be
preferred over other ways to open a file.
R: with statement is a block of statement that makes sure
the file is closed in case of any run-time error and
buffer is cleared to avoid data loss.
32. A: The tell method will stores/get the current location of
the
file pointer.
R: Python seek method returns the current position of the
file read/write pointer with the file.
33. A : The tell( ) method returns an integer that specifies the
current position of the file object in the file.
R: Offset can have any of the three values – 0, 1 and 2.
