How to Append Data to a File in Python: Easy Step-by-Step Guide 📖

Hey guys,
Welcome to another new Python video! In this video, we are going to cover what and how to append to files and a couple more features and mistakes and solutions to use when appending to them. So if you're ready, let's dive in!

Appending data to a file, means to add more content to an already existing file. This mean that the content in the existing file won't be overwritten, but merely added to. This is useful because sometimes you might need your program to add data to your file and not overwrite it entirely.

The way we write to a file is by using the "a" and then calling the .write() method on a file to append data to a file. If your program requires to read as well, then using "a+" will allow you to read from a file as well as append to it.
