Types of Files
Lesson 2 of 23 in Coddy's C++ File Handling course.
Text files store data in a human-readable format using characters. We'll cover the basic syntax and methods for writing strings, numbers, and other data types to text files.
Binary files store data in a non-human-readable format, using binary code. You'll learn how to write data to binary files, which is useful for efficiently storing complex data structures, images, or other media files.
Understanding these file types is crucial, as it determines how data is stored and accessed. In the next few lessons, you will learn how to open, close, read from, and write to these files.
