34 i) “w” mode in python represents, write which erases the previous data and the new data is 2+3
copied. The file pointer of write mode will be at the beginning. If the file is not present in
w mode the program will not give any error instead the file will be automatically created
with the name specified.
In append mode ‘a’, the data will not be erased, the new data will be copied to the end of
the file. The file pointer in append mode will be at the end.

• takes no parameter
• by using tell() method, we can get only the position of the file cursor.
