    Study Notes

    File Input/Output in C

    • File I/O is crucial for programs to interact with external world by reading input from and writing results to files
    • Files are sequences of bytes stored on secondary or external memory like hard disk, and can contain any character code
    • Most programming languages allow creating or reading data files in two general formats: text files and binary files
    • Text files are stored as a sequence of characters and are readable by text editors, e.g., programming source files
    • Binary files are stored as chunks of bytes representing certain objects or data, e.g., executable files, pdf, mp3, docx
    • File I/O is a fundamental part of any computer program
    • In C, files are handled using I/O streams
    • An example of an individual who contributed to the text is M. Moussavi, PhD, PEng
    • ENSF 337 is the course related to the content discussed
    • The course "Programming Fundamentals" involves the file I/O concept
    • The text is an introduction to file I/O in C programming
    • File I/O in C is an important aspect of the ENSF 337 course
