1. The document discusses various topics related to files in Python including opening, reading, writing, renaming, deleting files and handling exceptions. 2. Modes for opening files include read, write and append. Exceptions like IOError are raised and can be handled using try/except blocks. 3. Command line arguments allow passing input to scripts during execution. Common built-in modules like math, random and calendar contain reusable functions.

PART_A
1) Build a python program to count in a sentence using split() function.
f=open("new.txt","r")
content=f.readline()
words=content.split()
print(len(words))
2) Describe renaming and deleting a file in python.
Renaming a file:
import os
os.rename(“new1.txt”, “new2.txt”)
new1.txt →Old File Name
new2.txt → New File Name
Deleting a file:
import os
os.remove(“new1.txt”)
Deletes the particular file.
3) Difference between built-in exceptions and handling exceptions
Built-in Exception:
✓ Python has many built in exceptions which are raised when there is
some error in the program.
✓ It has been handled with try, except and else block.
✓ Some common exceptions are TypeError, ZeroDivisionError Etc.
Handling User Defined Exceptions:
✓ Sometimes users want to create their own exception for a specific
scenario to make error messages, which are called as user defined
exception.
✓ For example, Handling the Age for eligibility for vote as “InvalidAge
Error”
4) List out different modes of file opening.
‘r’ → Opens a file in read mode as text file (default)
‘w’ → Opens a file for writing purpose, if not exist means, creates a
new file
‘a’ → Opens a file to append data at the EOF
If ‘rb’ or ‘wb’ or ‘ab’ means it opens a file in binary mode.
5) How do you use command line arguments to give input to the program.
✓ In Python, command-line arguments are accessed through the
sys.argv list.
✓ The first item in the list is always the name of the script itself, and
subsequent items are the arguments passed to the script.
✓ The input parameters are passed to the script while executing them.
✓ Eg: $ python script.py arg1 arg2 arg3

6) Write the syntax for opening a file to write in text mode.


f = open(“new.txt”, ‘w’)
f.write(“Hi! Hello!”)
f.write(“Welcome to Python”)
f.close()
new.txt → File Name
‘w’ → Open the text file in write mode

7) How do you handle the exception inside a program when you try to
open a non-Existent file?
try:
f=open("new.txt",'r')
except IOError:
print("No Such File")
else:
print("File Opened")
8) Difference between write and append mode.
Write Mode Append Mode
• Open a file to write data, if file • Open a file to append data, if file
does not exist, it creates a new does not exist, it creates a new
file file
• It overwrites the existing data • It adds the data at the EOF
• Cursor placed in the beginning • Cursor placed in the End of the
of the file File.
• f = open (“new.txt”, ‘w’) • f = open (“new.txt”, ‘a’)

9) Define errors & list out the types of errors.


Errors are problems that occur in the program due to an illegal
operation performed by the user or by the fault of a programmer, which
halts the normal flow of the program. Some common types of errors are,
❖ Syntax Error
❖ Indentation Error
❖ IO Error
❖ Value Error
❖ Type Error
❖ EOF error
10) What is module? Give Example.
✓ A module is simply a file that defines one or more related functions
grouped together.
✓ To reuse the functions of a given module, we need to import the
module.
✓ Eg: Math Module, Random Module, Calendar Module, tkinter module,
Turtle Module Etc.,
