File Handling Interactive Activities

Build OCR Reference Language fluency through code-ordering tasks.

Activity 1: Parsons Problem - Write to a File

Drag each line into the answer area so the program creates a new file, writes to it, and closes it using OCR reference language.

Tip: you can drag blocks between both boxes to reorder your answer.

Activity 2: Run OCR File-Write Code

Enter pilot code and date of birth, then run the OCR reference language program.

code = input("Enter code") dob = input("Enter date of birth") myFile = open("pilots.txt") myFile.writeLine(code + "," + dob) myFile.close()

Tip: loop condition first, then read inside the loop, and close the file at the end.

    


    

      
Activity 4: Run OCR File-Read Code

      
Edit pilots.txt on the right, then run the code to read one line at a time.


      

        

          
myFile = open("pilots.txt")
while NOT myFile.endOfFile()
  print(myFile.readLine())
endwhile
myFile.close()
