Unit III

BCA 4rth Semester


FILES
 File is a named location on disk to store related information.
 Data for python program can come from difference sources such
as keyboard, text file, web server, database.
 To store data permanently. Stored non-volatile memory.
 We can retrieve whenever required.
 Ex: Student.txt
 Two types of files
 Text files : A text file can be a sequence of
lines without any images, tables etc. Ex: text,
json.
 Binary files : Files are capable of storing text,
image, video, audio, database files, etc which
contains the data in the form of bits.
 File Handling:
 Opening files
 Reading files
 Writing files
 Closing files
age =input(“Enter your age”)
print(age)
 Above statement age will be lost once application
is closed.
 To store data permanently using files
age =input(“Enter your age”)
f=open(“data.txt”,’w’)
f.write(age)
f.close()
statement
 automatically closes the file.
 syntax:
 open(“filename “, mode=‘r’, buffering,
encoding=None, errors=None, newline=None,
closefd=True)
 f= open(“filename”, “mode”)
//mode : reading, writing, appending etc.

 If mode is not specified , by default, open( ) uses


mode ‘r’ for reading
files in python
 collection of data stored on a secondary storage device.
 RAM(volatile)
 ROM(non-volatile)
 file path:
every file identified by its path.
relative path and absolute path.
file path
 absolute path : always contains the root to the
complete dictionary.
 relative path:start with respect to the current working
directory.
 example:
c:\students\undergraduate\BTech_cs.dcox
why we need file?
