Types of File :-

r: open an existing file for a read operation.

a: open an existing file for append operation. It won’t override existing data.
r+: To read and write data into the file. The previous data in the file will be overridden.
w+: To write and read data. It will override existing data.
a+: To append and read data from the file. It won’t override existing data.
