What methods can be used to read data from a file on disk?

In Python, there are several ways to read data from a file on disk:

1. Read the entire file at once:

with open('file.txt', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    data = f.read()
print(data)

2. Line-by-line reading:

with open('file.txt', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    for line in f:
        print(line.strip())

3. Read into a list of lines:

with open('file.txt', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    lines = f.readlines()
print(lines)

4. Reading with the read(size) method for chunked reading:

with open('file.txt', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    chunk = f.read(1024)  # read the first 1024 bytes
    print(chunk)

Using the with statement ensures the file is closed after reading. The encoding is specified for proper handling of text files.
