Difference between readline and readlines?

Answer 1

READLINES:

readlines()- reads all the lines and put them in 'list'(between these [ ]) and displays them with each line ending with'\n'

EXAMPLE:(for readlines)
Say my text file contains the following:
hello
how are
you

COMMAND:(code to be entered)
print(file.readlines())

OUTPUT:(for readlines)
['hello\n', 'how are\n', 'you \n']

READLINE:

readline()- reads only the first line of the file.

EXAMPLE:(for readline)
(following the same example as above)

COMMAND:(for readline)
print(file.readline())

OUTPUT:(for readline)
hello

Answer 2

readlines(): print all lines

Answer 3

but readlines()-it prints all in a single line with the following structure:

['Line 1 text \n', 'Line 2 text \n', 'Line 3 text']
