Explanation
In Python, a file is used to store information on a named location in the secondary storage device. Files can be classified into different types such as program files and data files. Program files contain Python scripts (with .py extension), while data files store specific data relevant to their purpose. This classification helps organize and manage files based on their content and usage.
