</source><br><br>In order to read data from a text file, we need to create a special storage area (or a "buffer") that will be used to access and storage the data in a file. This special storage has different names for various programming languages (like a '''"file pointer"''' in the C programming language or as an '''"object"''' in object oriented programming languages). In Python, we define an '''object''' to store the retrieved data. To simplify things for now, you can think of an '''object''' as a '''special variable'''. You will learn more about object oriented programming later in this lab.<br><br>
