:This first investigation will cover the ability to open text files on the system, read the contents, store the contents, and finally write the contents back into a file. This is a very common practice in programming, used in situations such as logging output, logging errors, reading/creating configuration files, temporary files, and more. Files are accessed through the use of file objects, an object is a storage location which stores data in the form of attributes(variables) and methods(functions). Creating our own objects will be covered in investigation 3.
