35.Amritya Seth is a programmer, who has recently been given a task to write a python code to perform the
fol- lowing binary file operations with the help of two user defined functions/modules:

a. AddStudents() to create a binary file called STUDENT.DAT containing student information – roll
number, name and marks (out of 100) of each student.
b. GetStudents() to display the name and percentage of those students who have a percentage greater than 75.
In case there is no student having percentage > 75 the function displays an appropriate message. The
function should also display the average percent. He has succeeded in writing partial code and has missed out
certain statements, so he has left certain queries in comment lines.

You as an expert of Python have to provide the missing statements and other related queries based on the fol-
lowing code of Amritya.

Answer any four questions (out of five) from the below mentioned questions.

import pickle
def AddStudents():
#1 statement to open the binary file to write data

while True:
Rno = int(input(“Rno :”))
Name = input(“Name : “)
Percent = float(input(“Percent :”))
L = [Rno, Name, Percent]
#2 statement to write the list L into the file
Choice = input(“enter more (y/n): “)
if Choice in “nN”:
break
F.close()

def GetStudents():
Total=0
Countrec=0
Countabove75=0
with open(“STUDENT.DAT”,”rb”) as F:
while True:
try:
#3 statement to read from the
file Countrec+=1
Total+=R[2]
if R[2] > 75:
print(R[1], “ has percent = “,R[2])
 Countabove75+=1
except:
break
if Countabove75==0:
print(“There is no student who has percentage more than 75”)
average=Total/Countrec
print(“average percent of class = “,average)
AddStudents()
GetStudents()

i. Which of the following commands is used to open the file “STUDENT.DAT” for writing only in binary
for- mat? (marked as #1 in the Python code)
a. F= open(“STUDENT.DAT”,’wb’) b. F= open(“STUDENT.DAT”,’w’)
c. F= open(“STUDENT.DAT”,’wb+’) d. F= open(“STUDENT.DAT”,’w+’)

ii. Which of the following commands is used to write the list L into the binary file, STUDENT.DAT? (marked
as #2 in the Python code)
a. pickle.write(L,f) b. pickle.write(f, L) c. pickle.dump(L,F) d. f=pickle.dump(L)

iii. Which of the following commands is used to read each record from the binary file
STUDENT.DAT? (marked as #3 in the Python code)
a. R = pickle.load(F) b. pickle.read(r,f) c. r= pickle.read(f) d. pickle.load(r,f)

iv. Which of the following statement(s) are correct regarding the file access modes?
a. ‘r+’ opens a file for both reading and writing. File object points to its beginning.
b. ‘w+’ opens a file for both writing and reading. Adds at the end of the existing file if it exists and creates a new
one if it does not exist.
c. ‘wb’ opens a file for reading and writing in binary format. Overwrites the file if it exists and creates a new one
if it does not exist.
d. ‘a’ opens a file for appending. The file pointer is at the start of the file if the file exists.

v. Which of the following statements correctly explain the function of seek() method?
a. tells the current position within the file.
b. determines if you can move the file position or not.
c. indicates that the next read or write occurs from that position in a file.
d. moves the current file position to a given specified position.
