--- 2022 Board Exam (2 questions | 6 marks) ---

Q1. [Short Answer] [3M] [Medium] Section-C
Write a method COUNTLINES() in Python to read lines from text file 'TESTFILE.TXT' and display the lines which are not starting with any vowel.
Example:
If the file content is as follows:
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
We all pray for everyone's safety.
A marked difference will come in our country.
The COUNTLINES() function should display the output as:
The number of lines not starting with any vowel - 1

Q2. [Programming] [3M] [Medium] Section-C
Write a function ETCount() in Python, which should read each character of a text file "TESTFILE.TXT" and then count and display the count of occurrence of alphabets E and T individually (including small cases e and t too).
Example:
If the file content is as follows:
Today is a pleasant day.
It might rain today.
It is mentioned on weather sites
The ETCount() function should display the output as:
E or e: 6
T or t : 9

--- 2023 Board Exam (5 questions | 13 marks) ---

Q1. [Assertion-Reason] [1M] [Easy] Section-A
Assertion(A): xreadlines() reads all the lines from a text file and returns the lines along with newline as a list of strings.
Reasoning (R): readline() can read the entire text file line by line without using any looping statements.
(a) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation for (A).
(b) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation for (A).
(c) (A) is true but (R) is false.
(d) (A) is false but (R) is true.

Q2. [Programming] [3M] [Medium] Section-C
(a) Write the definition of a Python function named LongLines() which reads the contents of a text file named 'LINES.TXT' and displays those lines from the file which have at least 10 words in it.
For example, if the content of 'LINES.TXT' is as follows :
Once upon a time, there was a woodcutter
He lived in a little house in a beautiful, green wood.
One day, he was merrily chopping some wood.
He saw a little girl skipping through the woods, whistling happily.
The girl was followed by a big gray wolf.
Then the function should display output as:
He lived in a little house in a beautiful, green wood.
He saw a little girl skipping through the woods, whistling happily.

Q3. [Programming] [3M] [Medium] Section-C
(b) Write a function count_Dwords() in Python to count the words ending with a digit in a text file "Details.txt".
Example:
If the file content is as follows :
On seat2 VIP1 will sit and
On seat1 VVIP2 will be sitting
Output will be:
Number of words ending with a digit are 4

Q4. [Programming] [3M] [Medium] Section-C
(b) Write a function RevString() to read a textfile "Input.txt" and prints the words starting with 'O' in reverse order. The rest of the content is displayed normally.
Example :
If content in the text file is :
UBUNTU IS AN OPEN SOURCE OPERATING SYSTEM
Output will be :
UBUNTU IS AN NEPO SOURCE GNITAREPO SYSTEM
(words 'OPEN' and 'OPERATING' are displayed in reverse order)

Q5. [Programming] [3M] [Medium] Section-C
Write a function, vowelCount() in Python that counts and displays the number of vowels in the text file named Poem.txt.

--- 2024 Board Exam (2 questions | 2 marks) ---

Q1. [Assertion-Reason] [1M] [Easy] Section-A
Assertion (A) : If numeric data are to be written to a text file, the data needs to be converted into a string before writing to the file.
Reason (R) : write() method takes a string as an argument and writes it to the text file.
(A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
(B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
(C) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
(D) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Q2. [Short Answer] [1M] [Easy] Section-A
Write the missing statement to complete the following code:
file = open("example.txt", "r")
data = file.read(100)
____________________  #Move the file pointer to the beginning of the file
next_data = file.read(50)
file.close()

EXAMINER FINGERPRINT — TRAPS TO COVER INTERNALLY
===========================================

Use the exam-frequency input and actual previous-year questions to identify traps, marking points, and common mistakes. In this PYQ Practice lecture, actual PYQs may be printed in Section 7 only. Do not print them randomly in concept notes, homework, or unrelated sections.

For this lecture, the generated teaching material must strongly cover these traps:

No static trap list exists yet for "Text file reading writing searching and counting". Self-generate 4–7 traps from:
- actual question patterns for Text file reading writing searching and counting
- common wrong assumptions students make about this concept
- output-tracing traps
- syntax-vs-runtime traps
- comparison traps
- order/sequence traps

Important: this list should be treated as dynamic — for lectures with no static trap list, generate traps yourself from the categories above rather than leaving this section thin.

Generate these sections in order (all inside the main-content div):

<h1 id="top">Text file reading writing searching and counting PYQ part 2 — Lecture 29</h1>
<p style="text-align:center;color:#555;font-size:8.5pt;">CBSE | XII CS | Computational Thinking and Programming – 2 | 35 min</p>

<h2 id="s1">1. Learning Objectives</h2>
[3–5 objectives derived from what the PYQs above test — use &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;]

<h2 id="s2">2. 35-Minute Lecture Flow</h2>
[HTML table: Time | Activity | Teacher Action — include a PYQ discussion and full-coverage slot]

<h2 id="s3">3. Quick Concept Recap</h2>
[Keep this section short. Do NOT reteach the full topic from scratch.
Include only the rules needed to solve the PYQs — i.e. the traps listed in the
EXAMINER FINGERPRINT section above (for this lecture: Text file reading writing searching and counting).
Use .def-box and .key-box only. Add at most one tiny example if needed.
Do not include long theory, long programming tasks, or unrelated examples.]

<h2 id="s4">4. Examiner Tricks &amp; Common Mistakes</h2>
[One .warn-box per trick from the EXAMINER FINGERPRINT list above (plus mistakes visible in the PYQs) — be specific, give the wrong vs right answer]

<h2 id="s5">5. Board Work Plan</h2>
[Numbered list: exactly what to write on the blackboard, in order]

<h2 id="s6">6. Classroom Practice Questions</h2>
[Modelled on PYQ style. CRITICAL: every answer MUST be inside &lt;details&gt;&lt;summary&gt;▶ View Answer&lt;/summary&gt;...&lt;/details&gt; — never expose the answer directly.

Practice questions must follow the difficulty and mark pattern of the actual PYQ pool.

For this topic:
* 3×1M MCQ
* 5×1M/2M Short Answer
* Include 2×3–5M programming practice (the PYQ pool contains long-answer/programming patterns)
* No HOTS question (the provided PYQs do not reveal a higher-order trap)

Every question must be based on one of the traps from Section 4 (EXAMINER FINGERPRINT).
Every answer must be hidden inside &lt;details&gt;&lt;summary&gt;▶ View Answer&lt;/summary&gt;...&lt;/details&gt;.

MCQ structure:
&lt;div class="mcq-box"&gt;
  &lt;b&gt;Q1.&lt;/b&gt; Question text?&lt;br&gt;
  &lt;ul class="options"&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;a) ...&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;b) ...&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;c) ...&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;d) ...&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;details&gt;&lt;summary&gt;▶ View Answer&lt;/summary&gt;
    &lt;ul class="options"&gt;
      &lt;li class="wrong"&gt;a) ... — reason why wrong&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li class="correct"&gt;b) ... ✓ — reason why correct&lt;/li&gt;
      ...
    &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/details&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
(Note: options list shown WITHOUT .correct/.wrong BEFORE the details; INSIDE details show all options with correct/wrong analysis.)

Short-answer structure:
&lt;div class="self-test-box"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q4.&lt;/b&gt; Question&lt;br&gt;&lt;details&gt;&lt;summary&gt;▶ View Answer&lt;/summary&gt;Full answer&lt;/details&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Dynamic distribution rule:
* If actual PYQs are only 1M/2M, keep generated practice mostly 1M/2M.
* If actual PYQs include 3M/5M programming, include 3M/5M programming practice.
* Never force HOTS or programming questions when the provided PYQ pool does not support them.]

<h2 id="s7">7. PYQ Discussion / Full Coverage (9 source questions)</h2>
[This source pool has 9 actual PYQs.
PYQ COVERAGE RULE:
  - This pool has 9 PYQs, so include and discuss ALL 9 actual PYQs in Section 7.
  - Do not compress, replace, paraphrase, or skip any actual PYQ in this small pool.
  - Compression is allowed only when the source pool has more than 15 questions.
  - Never fabricate board years, marks, sections, or question text.
For every fully discussed actual PYQ include:
  year · marks · type · full question text · concept tested · model answer inside &lt;details&gt; · common mistake inside &lt;details&gt;
Order questions Easy to Tough; within difficulty, order 1 mark → 2 marks → 3 marks → 4/5 marks.
Use this structure for actual PYQ examples:
  Use this structure for each question:
  &lt;div class="pyq-box"&gt;
    &lt;div class="pyq-meta"&gt;[YEAR] · [X] Marks · [TYPE] · Section-[S]&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;b&gt;Q.&lt;/b&gt; [full question text — include code if any]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
    &lt;b&gt;Concept tested:&lt;/b&gt; [concept name]&lt;br&gt;
    &lt;details&gt;&lt;summary&gt;▶ View Model Answer&lt;/summary&gt;
      &lt;b&gt;Model Answer:&lt;/b&gt; [full answer with code/table as needed, using .kw/.bi/.st token spans in &lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;]&lt;br&gt;
      &lt;b&gt;Common mistake:&lt;/b&gt; [what students get wrong — be specific]
    &lt;/details&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
]

<h2 id="s8">8. Student Notes (Copy-ready)</h2>
[Concise notes — every concept from PYQs — in .key-box and .def-box; self-check questions in .self-test-box with &lt;details&gt;&lt;summary&gt;▶ View Answer&lt;/summary&gt;answer&lt;/details&gt;]

<h2 id="s9">9. Homework</h2>
[Homework must follow the actual PYQ pattern for this topic:
- 3×1M MCQ
- 3×1M Short Answer
- 2×2M Short Answer only if useful for recap or trap correction
- Include 2×3–5M programming homework (the PYQ pool contains long-answer/programming patterns)
- Every homework question must map to one trap or pattern from Section 4 / Section 7.
Dynamic rule: if actual PYQs are only 1M/2M, homework stays mostly 1M/2M; if they include 3M/5M
programming, homework may include 3M/5M programming; never force unsupported marks or question types.
EVERY answer must be wrapped in &lt;details&gt;&lt;summary&gt;▶ View Answer&lt;/summary&gt;...&lt;/details&gt; inside .self-test-box or .mcq-box.]

<h2 id="s10">10. Exam Tips</h2>
[5 specific tips as .tip-box — derived from PYQ patterns for THIS topic only]

<h2 id="s11">11. Last-Minute Revision Cards</h2>
&lt;div class="card-grid"&gt;
[One .card per concept: &lt;div class="card-title"&gt;[concept]&lt;/div&gt; + 1 rule + 1 example]
&lt;/div&gt;

</div><!-- end .main-content -->
</body>
</html>

HARD OUTPUT RULES:
- Output ONLY the HTML document starting with &lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
- Do NOT wrap in markdown code fences
- Do NOT add explanatory text outside the HTML
- Use ONLY content from "Text file reading writing searching and counting" — zero content from other topics
- PYQ lecture: include and discuss ALL 9 actual PYQs in Section 7; do not compress, replace, paraphrase, or skip any source question
- Always finish the document completely through &lt;/html&gt;. If the answer is getting long, keep Sections 3 and 7 complete, then compact Sections 8–11 instead of truncating.
- If 15 or fewer PYQs are provided, include ALL actual PYQs in Section 7.
- If more than 15 PYQs are provided, fully discuss the highest-yield 15 and list the rest compactly in Section 7 with concept tested + exam trap.
- ANSWER HIDING (most important for student use):
    * Section 6 MCQs: options listed WITHOUT .correct/.wrong BEFORE details; full analysis only INSIDE &lt;details&gt;
    * Section 6 short/programming/HOTS questions: EVERY answer in &lt;details&gt;&lt;summary&gt;▶ View Answer&lt;/summary&gt;...&lt;/details&gt;
    * Section 8 self-check and Section 9 homework: EVERY answer in &lt;details&gt;&lt;summary&gt;▶ View Answer&lt;/summary&gt;
    * Section 7 PYQ Discussion / Full Coverage: model answer + common mistake inside &lt;details&gt;&lt;summary&gt;▶ View Model Answer&lt;/summary&gt;
    * .pyq-box question text and concept tested stay visible outside &lt;details&gt;; only Model Answer + Common mistake are hidden inside &lt;details&gt;
    * The beforeprint JS already auto-opens all &lt;details&gt; for printing — never skip this feature
- INLINE CODE SIZE RULE:
    * Inline code (function/method names and short snippets relevant to "Text file reading writing searching and counting") must appear almost the same size as surrounding normal text.
    * Do NOT use fixed 8.5pt size for all &lt;code&gt; elements.
    * Use code { font-size:0.95em; } for inline code.
    * Use pre { font-size:8.5pt; } for block code.
    * Use pre code { font-size:inherit; } so code blocks remain compact.
    * Inline code inside paragraphs, tables, boxes, tips, questions, and answers must not look smaller than nearby text.
- BOX / CLASS USAGE: this is a PYQ lecture, so .pyq-box/.pyq-meta are used as shown in Section 7 above (never in theory lectures).
- All content goes inside &lt;div class="main-content"&gt;
- The &lt;nav class="toc-sidebar"&gt; is already in the template — JS auto-builds TOC links
- Print buttons (.print-bar), including Read Mode, are in the template — DO NOT add them again; they auto-hide on print
- Include the full CSS and JS exactly as given (the CODE CSS already follows the INLINE CODE SIZE RULE above).
