Chapter 4. PC #14. Line Numbers (page 265)
Write a program that asks the user for the name of a file. The program should display the contents of the file with each line preceded with a line number followed by a colon. The line numbering should start at 1.
Test Case 1
Please enter the file name or type QUIT to exit:\nquitENTER
Test Case 2
Please enter the file name or type QUIT to exit:\nbadfilename.txtENTERFile: badfilename.txt does not exist.\nPlease enter the file name again or type QUIT to exit:\nquitENTER
Test Case 3
Please enter the file name or type QUIT to exit: \ninput1.txt ENTER1: a\n2: b\n3: c\n4: d\n
Write a function, WriteFile(), that saves information to a text file. The function receives a string value (obtained from Question 3.2) that is written to the text file. The function does not return any value to the calling statement.Store the output text file as Output.txt.The output must be added on a new line to the text file each time without erasing any existing
The above functions (ReadFile(), Decode(), and WriteFile()) must now be implemented in the main program in the following order:1. Create a list of type character, i.e. the data type that is stored in the list is text.2. Read the contents of the file to the lists with ReadFile(). Display the number of lines that are read from the text file.3. Decode each card number with the Decode() function by passing the list to the function.4. As each card number is decoded, write the information to an output file with WriteFile(). The WriteFile() function should be called from within the Decode() function.

Define writeStringToFile
Use def to define writeStringToFile
Use a open file expression
Within the definition of writeStringToFile, use open(___) or open(___, ___=_) in at least one place.
Use a file .write() call
Within the definition of writeStringToFile, use _.write(_) in exactly one place.
Function 2. readFirstLines(fileName, numLines): This function reads the first numLines lines of the file named fileName, returning them as a list of strings (each of which includes a terminating newline character, if there is one). If there are fewer than numLines lines in the file, returns a list of all the lines in the file.

- Computer Science Create a function that can find the largest writable and non-writable file by the user in a directory without subdirectories (flat directory). This function will be part of a program named maxfile that can be invoked like this: ./maxfile <directory> You will be reading the contents of the directory passed as the only argument to your program using the function readdir(). Begin by opening the directory using opendir(), and obtain information for every file using stat(). stat() allows you to check whether a file is a regular file or a directory. (In this assignment, hard and symbolic links, special files, etc. will be ignored.) At the end, close the directory using closedir(). For Functionality 1, the input will be assumed to be a flat directory and subdirectories should not be traversed. Regular files must be separated into those for which the user has permission to write and those for which the user does not have permission to write.
