Question

Opening a file in append mode in Python

Answer 1

To open files in append mode, specify 'a' as the mode(a=append). For example,

f = open('my_file.txt', 'a')
file_content = f.read()
f.write('Hello World')
f.close()

Above code opens my_file.txt in append mode and appends the file to contain "Hello World" at the end.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• In Python, Opening a file in 'append', by specifying 'a' as the file open mode (a=append). This allows appending a new text to the already existing file or the new file.
• The opening of a file in 'a+' as the mode will build a new file if it does not exist. This function acts similar to the 'write() function', but instead of overwriting the file, the 'append() function' adds material to the original file.
