Mastering File Handling in Python: Read and Count Lines from Text Files

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to handle files in Python with two simple functions: readWalden, which counts the lines in a text file, and countFileLines, which counts both lines and characters, returning them as a tuple.

I’ll also guide you through handling file paths and reading file content step by step.
