Question 25What is the difference between the following sets of statements (a) and (b):(a)P = open("practice.txt", "r")  
P.read(10)(b)with open("practice.txt", "r") as P:  
    x = P.read()

Accepted Answer

The code given in (a) will open file "practice.txt" in read mode and will read 10 bytes from it. Also, it will not close the file explicitly. On the other hand, the code given in (b) will open file "practice.txt" in read mode and will read the entire content of the file. Furthermore, it will automatically close the file after executing the code due to the with clause.
