What if we want to read from a file line by line, rather than pulling the entire file in at once. Thankfully, Python includes a .readline() method that does exactly that.
If you open a file and call .readline() on the file object, you’ll get the first line of the file; subsequent calls to .readline() will return successive lines.
Instructions
1.
Declare a new variable my_file and store the result of calling open() on the "text.txt" file in "r"ead-only mode.
On three separate lines, print out the result of calling my_file.readline(). See how it gets the next line each time?
Don’t forget to .close() your file when you’re done with it!
