Files • Except for a few cases where we generated random data using quasi-random numbers, so far we have only: – Input from keyboard and – Output to screen • This is useful for limited amounts of data. • In case of a large quantity of data needs to be handled. We need functions to support input from a file and output to a file

C++’s view of files s view of files • C++ views a file as a sequential stream of bytes. The end of a file is determined anywhere by an end-of-file (EOF) marker, or at a specific byte count that the operating system has been told about in a program. • Files are stored permanently by the operating system, usually on a hard-disk or some other medium.

上海交通大学交大密西根 联合学院·一 ◆ UM-SJTU Joint Institute University of Michigan Shanghal Jiao Tong University Sequential Characteristics One usually uses sequential files for writing and reading data that is not changed later and that is read all at once.It is the most efficient way of storing files which have variable length records. Changing the contents of records or the numbers of records can be done,but not very efficiently. Accessing the contents of some specific records can be done,but not very efficiently
