Python - File Reading and Writing Strategies
Which of the following is the correct way to open a file and read its entire content safely in Python?
Awith open('data.txt') as file: content = file.read()
Bfile = open('data.txt'); content = file.read(); file.close()
Cfile = open('data.txt', 'r'); content = file.readline()
Dwith open('data.txt') as file: content = file.readlines()
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify safe file handling

    Using with open(...) ensures the file is closed automatically after reading, which is safer.
  2. Step 2: Check reading entire content

    Inside the with block, file.read() reads the whole file content as a string.
  3. Final Answer:

    with open('data.txt') as file: content = file.read() -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Use with open() + read() for safe full read [OK]
Quick Trick: Use with open() and read() to read whole file safely [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Forgetting to close the file after open()
  • Using readline() instead of read() for full content
  • Using readlines() which returns a list, not a string
