Hey @aditrisriv, the difference between them is as follows :

Both r+ and w+ opens files for read / write.
But w+ creates file if it doesn’t exist. On the other hand r+ raises an error.

f = open("test", "w+") creates "test" if it doesn't exist.
f = open("test", "r+") raises FileNotFound exception if 'test' doesn't exist.

However both the modes can be used depending on the use case.
I hope this helps ! :+1:
