Reading and Writing Files
It is a common task to
• read some input data file
• do some calculation/filtering/processing with the data
• write some output data file with results
Python distinguishes between
• text files ('t')
• binary files 'b')
If we don’t specify the file type, Python assumes we
mean text files.
