35. Paras Nath Seth is a programmer, who has recently been given a task to write a python
code to perform the following binary file operations with the help of two user defined
functions/modules: 4
a. AddStudents() to create a binary file called STUDENT.DATcontaining
student information – roll number, name and marks (outof 100) of each student.
b. GetStudents() to display the name and percentage of those studentswho 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
following code of Paras Nath.
As a Python expert, help him to complete the following code based on the
requirement given above:
import pickle
def AddStudents():

while True:
Rno = int(input("Rno :"))
Name = input("Name : ")
Percent = float(input("Percent :"))
L = [Rno, Name, Percent]
______________#statement2 : 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:
_______#statement3: to read from the file
Countrec+=1
Total+=R[2]

Page-14
 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()

1. What command should be used to open the file “STUDENT.DAT”for writing

only in binary format in statement1
2. What command should be used to write the list L into the binary file,
STUDENT.DAT in statement2
3. What command should be used to read each record from the binaryfile
STUDENT.DATin statement3
4. 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 theexisting
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. Overwritesthe 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 fileif the file
