Practical 1: Program to Open a File and Print Its Attribute Values
Problem Statement
Write a Python program to open a file and print its attribute values (like name, mode, and whether it is closed or not).
Solution Code
# Program to open a file and print its attribute values
# Open the file in read mode
file = open("your_file_path", "r") # the path of you file should be put here (sample file like sample.txt or sample.docx)
# Print the file attributes
print("File Name:", file.name)
print("File Mode:", file.mode)
print("Is the file closed?", file.closed)
# Close the file
file.close()
Output
- The program opens a file called sample.txt and prints its attributes:
- File name
- File mode
- Whether the file is closed
Example output:
File Name: D:\python\Sample.docx
File Mode: r
Is the file closed? False
Process finished with exit code 0
Explanation
Below is the explanation of F.E. PPS Unit 4 Practical 1 solution where we have written Python program to open a file and print its attribute values.
- Opening the File:
- The open() function is used to open the file in read mode (“r”).
- Printing File Attributes:
- file.name returns the name of the file.
- file.mode returns the mode in which the file was opened (e.g., “r” for read).
- file.closed returns whether the file is closed or not (it will be False as it is open).
- Closing the File:
- The file.close() method is used to close the file after operations.
Key Concepts Learned
- Opening Files:
- Using open() to access files in different modes.
- File Attributes:
- Accessing file attributes like name, mode, and closed status using file.name, file.mode, and file.closed.
