Answer / shishir

Imlicit open means file is open by program which is automaticaly done whne we call a program .
Explicit open means you open a file thorugh f-specification keyword "usropn " and then open and close the file means in explicit open the authority of opening and closing the file is done by programmer according to the requirements.
this is also the basic diffreence .
