Question

Which function is used to write a list of string in a file?

(a) writeline()

(b) writelines()

(c) writestatement()

(d) writefullline()

This question was posed to me in an online interview.

This question is from Files in section Regular Expressions and Files of Python

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) writeline()

To explain: With the writeline function you can write a list of strings to a file

fh = open(“hello.txt”, “w”)

lines_of_text = [“a line of text”, “another line of text”, “a third line”]

fh.writelines(lines_of_text).
