* Outline

  - Opening and reading contents of a file

  - Closing open files

  - Reading all the contents of the file at once

  - Reading files line by line

* Question 1

  Split the variable into a list, =pend_list=, of the lines in the

  file. Hint, use the tab command to see what methods the string

  variable has.

* Solution 1

  #+begin_src python

    In []: pend_list = pend.splitlines()

    In []: pend_list

  #+end_src

* Question 2

  Re-open the file =pendulum.txt= with =f= as the file object.

* Solution 2

  #+begin_src python

    In []:   f = open('/home/fossee/pendulum.txt')

  #+end_src

* Summary

  - Opening a file using =open= function

  - Reading all the contents of the file at once using =read()= method

  - Closing open files using the =close= method

  - Reading files line by line by iterating using a =for= loop

* Thank you!
