2 File Write:
• fileptr.write(“Hello, this is a sample line.\n”): Writes the first line to the file.
• fileptr.write(“Writing another line to the file.\n”): Writes the second line to the file.
• The “\n” is used to add a newline character at the end of each line.
3 print(“Content has been written to the file.”):

• This line is not necessary for file writing but serves as a confirmation message that the content has been
written.
After running this code, you should find a file named “file.txt” in the same directory with the specified lines
written to it.
Output;

To see the content of the file named file.txt use the following command in the Command Prompt/Terminal.
F:\Python> Type file.txt
You will get the output like this

TASK 3 : Python program that demonstrates file manipulation, including reading, writing, and appending
to a file
Code:
# Step 1: Open a file for writing

with open(“sample_file.txt”, “w”) as fileptr:
# Step 2: Write content to the file
fileptr.write(“Hello, this is a sample line.\n”)
fileptr.write(“Writing another line to the file.\n”)

# Step 3: Open the same file for reading
with open(“sample_file.txt”, “r”) as fileptr:
# Step 4: Read and print the file content
file_content = fileptr.read()
print(“File Content (Read Mode):\n”, file_content)

# Step 5: Open the same file for appending
with open(“sample_file.txt”, “a”) as fileptr:
# Step 6: Append more content to the file
fileptr.write(“Appending a new line to the file.\n”)

# Step 7: Open the file again for reading
