Could i get a link or have someone list the different types of bike brakes for me? i'd greatly appreciate it.
I've had my fun. How about telling us what kind of bike you have or taking your own picture?

This is what a disc looks like




V-brakes are the arms sticking up from the fork



And this has cantilevers



I don't have a bike with road calipers...sorry.
