Python Vs CPP Input File Handling

The document compares user input and file handling in Python and C++. It highlights that Python simplifies these operations with fewer lines of code and higher-level functions, while C++ requires more verbose syntax but provides greater control and performance. Key differences include the use of input() in Python versus cin in C++, and Python's automatic file closing with 'with' compared to C++'s manual closing.

Python Input and File Handling (Compared with C++)

1. User Input

-------------

Python:

-----------

name = input("Enter your name: ")

print("Hello", name)

age = int(input("Enter your age: "))

print("Next year, you will be", age + 1)

C++:

-----------

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

string name;

int age;

cout << "Enter your name: ";

cin >> name;

cout << "Enter your age: ";

cin >> age;

cout << "Hello " << name << ", next year you will be " << age + 1 << endl;

return 0;

}
Key Differences:

- Python uses input() for all data types and then casts if needed.

- C++ uses cin for standard input, with type-specific variables.

2. File Handling

-----------------

Opening a File:

Python:

file = open("example.txt", "r")

C++:

#include <fstream>

ifstream file("example.txt");

Reading from a File:

Python:

with open("example.txt", "r") as f:

contents = f.read()

print(contents)

C++:

#include <fstream>

#include <string>

using namespace std;

ifstream file("example.txt");
string line;

while (getline(file, line)) {

cout << line << endl;

Writing to a File:

Python:

with open("output.txt", "w") as f:

f.write("Hello, file!")

C++:

#include <fstream>

ofstream file("output.txt");

file << "Hello, file!";

Appending to a File:

Python:

with open("output.txt", "a") as f:

f.write("\nAppended line")

C++:

ofstream file("output.txt", ios::app);

file << "\nAppended line";

Closing a File:

Python uses `with` which handles closing automatically.

Manual closing: file.close()


C++ must call file.close() or rely on object destruction.

Conclusion:

- Python simplifies input and file operations with fewer lines and higher-level functions.

- C++ requires more verbose syntax but offers fine-grained control and performance.
