• 1. Writing to a File: To write data to a file, you need to open the file in write mode (‘w’). You can then use the
‘write()’ method to write data to the file.

• 1. Closing a File: After performing file operations, it’s important to close the file using the ‘close()’ method. This
releases system resources associated with the file.

• 1. Appending to a File: To append data to an existing file, you can open the file in append mode (‘a’) and use
the’ write()’ method.

• 1. Using with Statement: Python’s with statement is preferred for file handling as it automatically closes the
file when the block is exited, ensuring proper cleanup.

• These are the fundamental operations for handling files in Python. Additionally, Python also provides modules
like ‘os, shutil’, and ‘os.path’ for performing more advanced file-related operations like file manipulation,
directory handling, and path manipulations.
