"w" - write mode, here the file is opened for writing alone "a" - append mode, here the file grants access for appending "x" - create mode, for creating a new file example, open("file1.txt","r") The above line of code opens the file named file1 in read mode.

For example, f= open("file1.txt","r") print(f.read()) When the above set of lines is implemented, it prints all the contents available in the file as f.read() reads the entire file. If we pass argument inside the read function i.e.  read(5),  we'll be getting the first
