PART B

Section - I

Q 1. How are the following codes different form one another? 1x2=2

a. myfile = open(“poem.txt”,”r”)

XII/COMPUTER SCIENCE/TERM I/2021-22 Page 8

 myfile.read()

b. myfile = open(“poem.txt”,”r”)

myfile.read(100)

Ans : a. This will read the entire file “poem.txt”

b.This will read at most 100 bytes for the file even if the file contains more data than that.

Q 2. Read the code given below and answer the question: 2x1=2

i) fh=open(“main.txt”,”w”)

fh.write(“Bye”)

fh.close()

If the file contains “GOOD” before execution, what will be the contents of the file after the execution of this
code?

Ans : This file would now contain “Bye” only, because when an existing file is opened in write mode(“w”), it
truncates the existing data file.

ii) Consider the following and predict the output of the following code fragment.

f=open(“poem.txt”,”r”)

n1=0

for line in f:

n1=n1+1

print(n1)

Ans : It returns the total number of lines present in the file “poem.txt”.

Section - II

Q 3. What will be the output of the following code snippet? 1x2=2

i) f0=open(“myfile.txt”,”w+”)

print(“Name of the file : “,f0.name)

seq = “Computer Science\n Python Programming”

f0.writelines(seq)

f0.seek(0,0)

for line in f0:

print(line)

XII/COMPUTER SCIENCE/TERM I/2021-22 Page 9

 f0.close()

Ans : Name of the file : myfile.txt

Computer Science

Python Programming

ii) Write a single loop to display all the contents of a text file “poem.txt” after removing leading and
trailing whitespaces. 1x1=1

Ans : for line in file(“poem.txt”):

Print(line.strip())

iii) Q 4. I) What will be the output of the following code snippet? 1x1=1

With open(“hello.txt”,”w”) as f:

f.write(“Hello world how are you today”)

with open (“hello.txt”,’r’) as f:

data = f.readlines()

for line in data:

words=line.split()

print(words)

f.close()

Ans : [‘Hello’,’world’,’how’,’are’,’you’,’today’]

iv) ii) Write a code to print the last line of a text file. 1x1=1

Ans : fin=open(“data.txt”,”r”)

lst = fin.readlines()

print(lst[-1])

v) What is the output of the following code? 1x1=1

f=open(“poem.txt”,”r”)

size=len(f.read())

print(f.read(5))

Ans : No output, f.read() of line 2 will read the entire file content and place the file pointer at the end of the
file. So f.read(5) returns nothing as there are no more bytes to be read. So print() statement prints nothing.

Section - III

XII/COMPUTER SCIENCE/TERM I/2021-22 Page 10

Q 5. Write a program to replace capital letters with their respective small letters in the same file. 1x5=5

Ans : def replace():

f=open(“poem.txt”,”r+”)

data=f.read()

f.seek(0)

for i in data :

if i.isupper():

f.write(i.lower())

else :

f.write(i)

f.close()

replace()

Q 6. Write a program to search a record in a binary file. 1x5=5

Ans : def search_record():

f=open(“student_details.dat”,”rb”)

data=pickle.load()

f=int(input(“Enter the roll number which you want to search”))

for i in data:

if i[0]==r:

print(“Record Found….”)

print(i)

found=1

break

else :

print(“Record not found”)
