Chapter 6, Problem 2TF

Explanation of Solution

Output file:

  • • A file where the data are written is called as "output file". The output file is created on the disk and allows the program to write data to it.
  • • The "output file" must be accessed using the file name and must be closed after the usage of the file.
    • しろまる If the file is not closed properly, it can cause loss of data because the data that are written to a file are stored in a buffer first.
    • しろまる After closing a file, the buffer saves the contents into the disk.

Write mode:

The ‘w’ mode is used to open an output file with the writing option. If the specified file does not exist in the disk, then create a new file with the corresponding file name.

Purpose of ‘w’ mode when the file already exits:

If the disk has the specified file, then the file contents will be erased, and the new contents have to be written into the file.

Example for output file:

The following program is used to demonstrate an output file with the ‘w’ mode:

A file on disk:
