Mr. Deepak is a Python programmer. He has written a code and created a binary
file “MyFile.dat” with empid, ename and salary. The file contains 15 records.
He now has to update a record based on the employee id entered by the user and
update the salary. The updated record is then to be written in the file “temp.dat”. The
records which are not to be updated also have to be written to the file “temp.dat”. If
the employee id is not found, an appropriate message should to be displayed.
As a Python expert, help him to complete the following code based on the
requirement given above:

import _______ #Statement 1

def update_rec():
rec={}
35. 4
fin=open("MyFile.dat","rb")
fout=open("_____________") #Statement 2
found=False
eid=int(input("Enter employee id to update salary : "))
while True:
try:
rec=______________ #Statement 3
if rec["empid"]==eid:
found=True
rec["salary"]=int(input("Enter new salary : "))
pickle.____________ #Statement 4
else:

 pickle.dump(rec,fout)
except:
break
if found==True:
print("The salary of employee id ",eid," has been updated.")
else:
print("No employee with such id is not found")
fin.close()
fout.close()

(i) Which module should be imported in the program? (Statement 1)

(ii) Write the correct statement required to open a temporary file named temp.dat.
(Statement 2)
(iii) Which statement should Deepak fill in Statement 3 to read the data from the binary
file, record.dat and in Statement 4 to write the updated data in the file, temp.dat?
