________________ #Fill_Line 1
sqlist = list()
for k in range(10):
sqlist.append(k*k)
fout = ______________‘ #Fill_Line2A
____________________ #Fill_Line3
fout.close()
fin = __________________ #Fill_Line2B
______________________ #Fill_Line4
fin.close()
print(“Data from file:”,mylist)

Help her complete the above code as per the instructions given below:

(a) Complete Fill_Line1 so that the required Python library becomes available to
the program.
(b) Complete Fill_Line2A so that the above mentioned binary file is opened for
writing in the file object fout.
Similarly, complete Fill_Line2B, which will open the same binary file for reading
in the file object fin.
(c) Complete Fill_Line3 so that the list created in the code, namely Sqlist is written
in the open file.
