Your task is write the following functions: 1. create file o takes filename as a parameter. The function creates an empty file. • An example is shown below: o create_file("myfile.txt") File myfile. txt should now be visible in the working directory 2. read_file o takes filename as a parameter and returns a string with file content. • An example is shown below, for the file myfile.txt assuming it has two separate lines, which are "This is The Pennsylvania " and "State University". oread_file("myfile.txt") Output: "This is The Pennsylvania State University" 3. read file lines o This function takes filename as a parameter, and returns a list whose elements are representative of the lines in the file. • An example is shown below, for the file myfile.txt assuming it has two separate lines, which are "This is The Pennsylvania" and "State University". read_file_lines("myfile.txt") Output: ['This is The Pennsylvania \n', 'State University\n"] 4. write_to_file • takes filename and a list as a parameter. This function overwrites the file using list element-by-element where each element is on the newline into the file. It is necessary to check if the list is empty before start inserting elements to file. If the list is empty, print "list is empty" and perform no operations. An example is show below, for the file myfile.txt assuming it has two separate lines, which are "This is The Pennsylvania " and "State University". write_to_file("myfile.txt", ["University Park", "PA USA"]) File myfile.txt now looks like the following:- myfile.txt X 1 University Park 2 PA USA 3 5. append_to_file o takes filename and a list as a parameter. This function writes the entire list element-by-element into the file. It is necessary to check if the list is empty before start inserting elements to file. An example is show below, for the file myfile.txt assuming it has two separate lines, which are "This is The Pennsylvania " and "State University". append_to_file("myfile.txt", ["University Park", "PA USA"]) File myfile.txt now looks like the following: O myfile.txt X 1 This is The Pennsylvania 2 State University 3 University Park 4 PA USA 5 Return values must be assigned to variables before used. • You are NOT allowed to use the following constructs unless specified in the assignment directions.
