What will be the output of the following snippet?
f = None
for i in range(5):
with open("data.txt", "w") as f:
if i > 2:
break
print(f.closed)
- True
- False
- None
- Error
Answer
True
Reason — Initially, the variable f
is assigned None
. The code then enters a for loop that runs five times (for i in range(5)). Inside the loop, a file named "data.txt" is opened in write mode ("w") using the with
statement. If the value of i
is greater than 2, the loop breaks using break
. After the loop breaks, the print(f.closed)
statement is executed outside the with
block. Since the file object f
was opened within the with
block, it is automatically closed when the block exits. The f.closed
attribute returns True
if the file is closed, which happens because of the with
statement's automatic closing behavior.
