File handling is an important part of any application.

Python has several functions for creating, reading, updating, and deleting files.

File Handling

The key function for working with files in Python is the open() function.

The open() function takes two parameters; filename, and mode.

There are four different methods (modes) for opening a file:

"r" - Read - Default value. Opens a file for reading, error if the file does not exist

"a" - Append - Opens a file for appending, creates the file if it does not exist

"w" - Write - Opens a file for writing, creates the file if it does not exist

"x" - Create - Creates the specified file, returns an error if the file exists

f = open("demofile2.txt", "a")

f.write("Now the file has more content!")

f.close()

#open and read the file after the appending:

f = open("demofile2.txt", "r")

print(f.read())

In Python, you can assign a formatted print statement to a variable using f-strings (formatted string literals):

ame = "Alice"

age = 30

formatted_string = f"Hello, my name is {name} and I am {age} years old."

Calculate the invoice and print each line out to a file called lastname.txt
