What is the difference between > and >> operators?

Answer Posted / pradeep.k

'>' operator is used to overrite the file if the file is
already exist. otherwise it will create new file and we can
insert data in to that file.
'>>' operator is used to append the new data which we are
entering to already existing data in the file, means
concatinating the newly entered data to existing data in a file.
