What to Focus On

  • Files store data permanently on secondary storage.
  • A file is a named location used for later access.
  • Python programs and data can both be stored as files.

  • Text file and binary file are the two main data file types.
  • Text files are human readable.
  • Binary files are not human readable.

  • open() creates or opens a file.
  • The default mode is read mode.
  • Text mode is default; binary mode needs 'b'.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

open() always opens an existing file only, so it cannot create a file.

The default mode of open() is write mode.

write() and writelines() return the same kind of result.

Memory Tips

Definition of a file

Text file versus binary file
