(Simple Guide)
1. What is File Handling?
File handling means working with files (reading, writing, updating) using Python.

2. Opening a File
Use open() function: open('[Link]', 'r')

File Modes
r = read w = write (overwrites) a = append x = create new file

3. Reading a File
file = open('[Link]', 'r') print([Link]()) [Link]()

4. Writing to a File
file = open('[Link]', 'w') [Link]('Hello') [Link]()

5. Using 'with' (Best Practice)


with open('[Link]', 'r') as file: print([Link]())

6. File Operations
Rename: [Link]('[Link]', '[Link]') Delete: [Link]('[Link]')

7. Exception Handling
Used to handle errors without crashing program.

Basic Example
try: x = int(input()) except: print('Error!')

Types
try - test code except - handle error else - runs if no error finally - always runs

Example with all


try: num = int(input("Enter number: ")) except ValueError: print("Invalid input") else: print("Good
input") finally: print("Done")
