You develop a Python application for your school.
You need to read and write data to a text file. If the file does not exist, it must be created. If the file has content, the content must be removed.
Which code should you use?
Group of answer choices
open(“local_data”, “r”)
open(“local_data”, “w+”)
open(“local_data”, “r+”)
D. open(“local_data”, “w”)
The python function get_second_line takes one parameter, fname, the name of a text file. The function should open the file for reading, determine the second line of the file, close the file, and return the second line (a string).
NOTE: You may assume the file will have at least two lines.

- Using C++ Language Create a file called input9B.txt and type (or copy) the following text exactly as it appears below into that file. You may cut and paste the following 7 blue lines (including the blank line between the two paragraphs) into that file: C++ is a cross-platform language that can be used to create high-performance applications. C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, as an extension to the C language. C++ gives programmers a high level of control over system resources and memory. C++ is one of the world's most popular programming languages. C++ can be found in today's operating systems, Graphical User Interfaces, and embedded systems. C++ is an object-oriented programming language which gives a clear structure to programs and allows code to be reused, lowering development costs. Compile and run the program, using the input9B.txt file as the input file. Did this program produce the same exact output as shown above? What do you think the problem is?

Each line contains the following, separated by semicolons: • The name of the client, the service sold (such as Dinner, Conference, Lodging, and so on), • The amount of the sale, and the date of that event. • Write a program that reads such a file and displays the total amount for each service category. Display an error if the file does not exit or the format of the record is incorrect. No need to display anything else in this regard. Note that you can assume that the dates are entered correctly (no need to validate them). You may also assume that the name of the input text file is inputex4.txt. • Make sure you use a dictionary in your solution. • Sample run is included below for the given input file inputex4.txt Summary of total sales according to services Dinner 634.75 Conference 1133.25 Lodging Dinner and Lodging 550.25 625.14 Slide Tyne Fragment varrow_forwardMC 2 A text file contains: Ana Bob Cpc aaX bBy cCz Aba Bub Cxc Write a regular expression that will match only lines 1, 2, and 3.arrow_forward

Write a program that creates the following three files: dataplus.txt dataminus.txt zeros.txt The program should read each line of the data.txt file and perform the following: If the line contains a positive number, that number should be written to the dataplus.txt file. If the line contains a negative number, that number should be written to the dataminus.txt file. If the line contains the value 0, do not write the value to a file. Instead, keep a count of the number of times 0 is read from the data.txt file.

Create a function with the following signature: nextBirthdate(filename, date) filename: parameter, which represents the CSV filename. date: parameter, which represents the current date. The function should open the CSV file, read the birthdate data, and determine which person's birthday will be celebrated next, given the current date. The name of the person should be returned. In other words, given a date, find the person whose birthday is next.

It contains the following text: Python is an interpreted language and the python interpreter is a computer program that executes code written in the python programming language. The python interactive interpreter is useful for simple operations or programs consisting of only a few lines. For more lines, a programmer can write Python code in a file, and then provide that file to the interpreter. For normal development a programmer installs python as an application on a local computer.
