### Understanding the `open()` FunctionThe `open()` function is a fundamental component in many programming languages, utilized for file handling. Its primary purpose is to open a file and return a corresponding file object. This function typically accepts multiple parameters, each with a specific purpose.#### Question:**What do we use the second parameter of the `open()` call to indicate?**#### Answer Choices:- **a.** How large we expect the file to be.- **b.** What disk drive the file is stored on.- **c.** The list of folders to be searched to find the file we want to open.- **d.** Whether we want to read data from the file or write data to the file.#### Detailed Explanation:1. **Option a:** This option suggests that the second parameter is used to indicate the expected size of the file. While managing file size is important, the second parameter of the `open()` function is not used for this purpose.2. **Option b:** This option implies that the second parameter specifies the disk drive location of the file. However, the parameter related to the disk drive or the file path is generally part of the first parameter, not the second.3. **Option c:** According to this option, the second parameter should list the directories to search for the file. This again is not the correct use of the second parameter in the `open()` function.4. **Option d:** The correct use of the second parameter in the `open()` function is to specify the mode in which the file should be opened. This includes whether data should be read from or written to the file. For example, common modes include reading (`'r'`), writing (`'w'`), appending (`'a'`), and reading in binary mode (`'rb'`).Therefore, the correct answer is **d.** Whether we want to read data from the file or write data to the file.

What do we use the second parameter of the open() call to indicate? a. How large we expect the file to be. b. What disk drive the file is stored on. C. The list of folders to be searched to find the file we want to open. d. Whether we want to read data from the file or write data to the file.

The following is an old word puzzle: “Name a common word besides tremendous, stupendous, and horrendous that ends in ‘dous’”. IF you think about it for a while you may be able to solve it. But we are programmers and we don’t like to think. Also we can do something much better than just check to see if a word ends in dous. Create a program that will read the attached words.txt file. Ask the user for a string. Based on that string, output every word that ends in such a string. If there are no results say so. Try to ensure that the program does not have any errors based on the input from the user.
How do I write a code that will open the text file for reading, (test.txt), and that prints the first line of the file? This has to be in python
Hello. How would I get def automated to read the opened text document and make a playlist with the specified time and genre. Example I want to randomly select blues songs that total as close to 20 minutes as possible. import save def automated(filename): try: print(filename) except FileNotFoundError: print('Document not found.') def main(): filename = '' print('-'*45) choice = '' while choice.upper() !='Q': print() if filename != '': print('Current file opened:', filename) print('0) Choose a file to open\t1) Automated song choice') print('Q) Quit') choice=input('Enter a choice: ') if choice == '0': print() filename = input('Enter file name: ') rfile =open(filename,'r') line_list =rfile.read() for word in line_list: words_list=word.split(' ') print(line_list) print(f"File {filename} opened.") elif choice == '1':…
PYTHON: I need to get the avg statement out of the loop so that the output prints correctly. Any suggestions. Write a program that reads the student information from a tab separated values (tsv) file. The program then creates a text file that records the course grades of the students. Each row of the tsv file contains the Last Name, First Name, Midterm1 score, Midterm2 score, and the Final score of a student. A sample of the student information is provided in StudentInfo.tsv. Assume the number of students is at least 1 and at most 20. The program performs the following tasks: Read the file name of the tsv file from the user. Open the tsv file and read the student information. Compute the average exam score of each student. Assign a letter grade to each student based on the average exam score in the following scale: A: 90 =< x B: 80 =< x < 90 C: 70 =< x < 80 D: 60 =< x < 70 F: x < 60 Compute the average of each exam. Output the last names, first names, exam…
PLEASE ASK THE USER IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO WRITE INTO THE FILE IF THEY CHOOSE NOT TO DELETE THE FILE, AND WRITE IT INTO THE FILE USING outputStream Write a complete java program that: asks the user for a filename tests whether the file exists and tells the user if it does exist ask the user whether it should be deleted. Either delete or do not delete the file based on the user input. If they don't delete it, ask them if they would like to write to the file If they want to write, ask what they want to write to the file and write it. Make sure to provide plenty of console output dialog specifying what status/actions are taken at each step.
I have a bit of code that is intended to read a file ("students.txt") and calculate the average, highest, and lowest scores from given information. (students.txt reads: " Mark Thompson 72.50James Taylor 100.00Daniel Price 80.2Busy Phillips 63.0 " ) This is the code I have: I have tweaked it to output the highest and lowest but I cannot get it to read the file. I have saved the file into the directory of the program but nothing seems to be working. I am also stumped on the formatting of the calculations. //////////////////////////////////////////// #include <iostream>#include <fstream>#include <cmath>#include <string>#include <iomanip>using namespace std; int main() { ifstream inFile; // This is a declaration of the inFile that holds all the gradesstring fileName; // This is the filename that the user will enterconst int min = 63.0; // This is a constant min used to find the lowest scoreconst int max = 100.0; // This is the constant max used to find the…
Add the ability to convert an entire message into Morse code, as well as the ability to handle a data file comprising numerous entries. Change your input validation code so that the user has an infinite number of opportunities to enter valid responses. Your program should run until the user selects the "quit" option from your menu. Add a menu option to provide the user the option of processing a data file. Add another way to exit the program. When your software starts, the menu should be the first item that appears. The menu format should be the same as in the Sample Output. Allow the user to make more menu selections until they select the option to exit. Before soliciting the user for a menu selection, always show the menu. Handle an incorrect menu option correctly. The user should have an infinite number of opportunities to enter a valid menu option. Validate the user's input for the number of words sent so that numbers less than one are not accepted. Allow the user an unlimited…
pls code in pythonplagiarism: This Boolean function takes two filenames. If any line occurs in both files, return True.If not, return False. I suggest using nested loops. With nested loops, we call the loop that is in thebody of the other loop, the "inner loop". The loop that contains the inner loop is the "outer loop". Openthe second file inside the outer loop:for line1 in file1:file2 = open(fname2)for line2 in file2:Python only lets you read the file once per open, so you need this order of instructions. Make sure yourreturn False is outside of both loops. Otherwise, you will only compare the first two lines of thefiles. Make sure you close the file that gets read repeatedly after the inner loop but still inside the outerloop.Here is some (more complete) pseudocode to get you started:open file 1for line1 in file 1open file 2for line2 in file 2:if line1 == line2:return Trueclose file 2return False

How do I write a code that will open the text file for reading, (test.txt), and that prints the first line of the file?
Can you help me write the following C++ program: Add a search command to the file viewer created. Thiscommand asks the user for a string and finds the first line that containsthat string. The search starts at the first line that is currently displayedand stops at the end of the file. If the string is found, then the file willbe scrolled down so that when it is redisplayed, the line that contains thestring is the first line at the top of the window.If the string is not found, the program prints the following error messageat the top of the screen:ERROR: string X was not foundwhere X is replaced by the string entered by the user. In that case, theprogram redisplays the lines that the user was viewing before the searchcommand was executed.Modify the program as little as possible. Make sure you assign new responsibilities to the most appropriate components. Use the C++ string operation find. The file viewer code is given below: // FileViewer.cpp #include "FileViewer.h" using namespace…
Use C++ Write a program that prints a menu of choices: L -> Find the lowest value in a file H -> Find the highest value in a file A -> Find the average value in a file Q -> Quit Choose: The program does input validation and asks the user to reenter as long as the user’s choice does not correspond to an item on the menu. Invalid choice. Re-enter: If the user selects any valid choice other than Quit, the program prompts the user to enter the file name, Enter input file name: then reads the content of the file and prints the value requested (highest value, lowest value or average value). Highest value is 0 Lowest value is 0 Average value is 0 If the file cannot be opened or is empty, the program should display the message: File empty or could not open file Then the program displays the menu again. If the user selects Quit, the program prints “Exiting” and terminates. Additional requirements – Make sure you meet all the requirements You are not allowed to use arrays You are…
