+##Explanation:
+##Initialization: Creates a CSV file with headers if it doesn’t exist.
+
+##Adding Entries: Appends a new budget entry to the CSV file.
+
+##Viewing Entries: Reads and prints all budget entries from the CSV file.
+
+##Summarizing Entries: Summarizes budget entries by category and type (income or expense) and prints totals.
+
+##Enhancements:
+##User Input: Modify the script to take input from users for adding entries.
+
+##Date Filters: Add functionality to filter entries by date.
+
+##Advanced Analysis: Use libraries like pandas for more complex data analysis and visualization.
