Understanding Basic File Handling in Python

What is data dependency in the context of file handling?

• The relationship between different files in a program

• The need for data to be compressed for efficient storage

• The specific order in which data must be arranged in a file

• The requirement for data to be encrypted in a file

What does the 'R' parameter signify when opening a file in Python?

• Read-only mode

• Random access mode

• Recursive mode

• Read-write mode

Why is stripping the newline character important when reading lines from a file?

• To prevent execution of unwanted code

• To enhance the performance of file reading

• To ensure accurate data parsing

• To reduce the file size for reading

In the context of file handling, what does EOF stand for?

• Error On File

• Execute On Find

• End Of File

• Entry Of Function

Why is it important to close a file after operations are completed?

• To save changes to the file

• To prevent data corruption

• To lock the file for other users

• To free up system resources

What does the 'A' parameter do when opening a file in Python?

• Accesses the file attributes

• Archives the file

• Applies access controls to the file

• Appends data to the end of the file

What is the difference between 'W' and 'A' modes in file handling?

• 'W' and 'A' both append data, but 'A' includes a timestamp

• 'W' watches the file for changes, 'A' archives the file

• 'W' overwrites the file, 'A' adds to the end

• 'W' writes data in binary, 'A' writes data in ASCII

How does Python represent a new line character when writing to a file?

• '\r\n'

• '\newline'

• '\n'

• '\l'

What is the primary difference in file opening syntax between Python and the OCR Exam Reference Language?

• Python uses brackets instead of parentheses

• OCR does not support file closing operations

• Python does not require the file name to open a file

• OCR uses 'open' without mode parameters

Can you write code in Python for your exams according to the OCR Exam Reference Language guidelines?

• Yes, Python code is fully acceptable

• No, only OCR syntax is allowed

• No, Python is not recognized

• Yes, but with syntax adjustments
