Intro to file handling in Python programming language

File handling is an essential part of programming and is used for reading and writing files in computer systems. Python, being a high-level programming language, provides powerful and easy to use functions and modules for handling files. This tutorial will teach you the basics of file handling in Python. This tutorial is suitable for beginners and anyone who wants to learn about file handling with Python. So, let's get started!

File handling in Python :

• The process of reading and writing data to files is called file handling.
• We can perform read/write operations on different types of files in python e.g. 
  • text files
  • json files
  • csv files etc.
• Python has a separate module for working with json files.
• Similarly there is separate package for csv files in python.
