Intro To Python Programming - Writing to a File

The video tutorial explains how to write user input to a file in Python. It covers the use of different file modes, specifically 'X' for creating a new file and 'W' for writing to an existing file. The process involves opening a file, writing the input, and closing the file. A command line demonstration shows the practical application of these steps, resulting in the creation of an 'output.txt' file containing the user's input.

What is the initial step in storing user input into a file using Python?

• Closing the file

• Opening a connection to the file

• Reading the file

• Deleting the file

Which file mode in Python creates a new file if it does not exist?

• R

• W

• A

• X

What happens if you use the 'W' mode on a non-existing file?

• It throws an error

• It reads the file

• It creates a new file

• It appends to the file

What is the final step in writing user input to a file in Python?

• Opening the file

• Reading the file

• Writing to the file

• Closing the file

What is the purpose of the 'X' mode in Python file handling?

• To append to a file

• To delete a file

• To read a file

• To create a new file if it doesn't exist
