- The python function get_second_line takes one parameter, fname, the name of a text file. The function should open the file for reading, determine the second line of the file, close the file, and return the second line (a string).

- Python Pro 1) Write a python program that takes a person’s details (name, age and a city), and writes to a file (persons.txt) using a loop repeatedly. You should write three person’s to the file. The program terminates on entering any key by the user, except on (Y or y) key. Sample output of the first run of the program is shown below: Enter name: JohnEnter age: 20Enter city: SydneyData saved: John 20 SydneyPress (Y or y) to add another person, or any key to exitarrow_forwardin pythonarrow_forwardplease save number random and file and when print on monitor read from file and every num in single linearrow_forward
- *Code in Python Write a script named dif.py. This script should prompt the user for the names of two text files and compare the contents of the two files to see if they are the same. If they are, the script should simply output "Yes". If they are not, the script should output "No", followed by the first lines of each file that differ from each other. The input loop should read and compare lines from each file, including whitespace and punctuation. The loop should break as soon as a pair of different lines is found. Below are examples of the program input and output along with relevant files: one.txt: This is text. abc 123 sameAsOne.txt: This is text. abc 123 differentFromOne.txt This is text. xyz 123 Comparing files that are the same: Enter the first file name: one.txt Enter the second file name: sameAsOne.txt Yes Comparing files that are different: Enter the first file name: one.txt Enter the second file name: differentFromOne.txt No abc xyzarrow_forwardWhat does the following python code do? f = open("sample.txt", "a") Choose all that apply.
