importing Data in Python（datacamp）

1. Flat files

   "Flat"which means it has no structure for indexing and there are usually no structural relationships between the records.

   Flat File是一种包含没有相对关系结构的记录的文件。 这个类型通常用来描述文字处理、其他结构字符或标记被移除了的文本。一个flat file即可以是纯文本文件(plain text file)，也可以是二进制文件(binary file)。

   #Reading a text file
   file = open(filename, mode='r')		#'r' is to read, 'w' is to write
   text = file.read()
   file.close()
   
   with open (filename, 'r') as file:
       text = file.read()
