Function –  read() = to read the entire
reading a document
file filehandle/fileobject.read()
f.read()
 read(n)= to read the
specified number of bytes
from the file
filehandle/fileobject.read(n)
f.read(5)
 readline()= to read a single
line from the file
filehandle/fileobject.readline()
f.readline()
 readlines()= to read all the
lines in a file but displays the
output in the form of list.
filehandle/fileobject.readlines()
f.readlines()
