Writing files in python

Question

when I am using file.write(), y=the contents are getting deleted, can we get that it doesn't delete the original contents but writes after the original contents.

Answer 1

You would need to open the file in append mode.

Answer 2

with open(filename, "a") as f:
f.write(content)

Answer 3

I found this in the comments of the lesson:

To edit an existing file without losing previous data use append(a) instead of write(w)
for example :

file = open("newfile.txt", "a")
file.write("\nThis has been written again to a file")
file.close()

Answer 4
