Need for a data file, Types of data files - Text file and Binary file;

Text File : Basic file operations on text file: Creating/Writing text into file, Reading and Manipulation of text from an already existing text File (accessing sequentially);

Binary File: Creation of file, Writing data into file, Searching for required data from file, Appending data to a file, Insertion of data in sorted file, Deletion of data from file, Modification of data in a file;

Implementation of above mentioned data file handling in C++; Components of C++ to be used with file handling:

Header file: fstream.h; ifstream, ofstream, fstream classes; Opening a text file in in, out, and app modes;

Using cascading operators (>> <<)for writing text to the file and reading text from the file; open(), get(), put(), getline() and close() functions; Detecting end-of-file (with or without using eof() function);

Opening a binary file using in, out, and app modes;

open(), read(), write() and close() functions; Detecting end-of-file (with or without using eof()

function); tellg(), tellp(), seekg(), seekp() functions.
