Files
Without files we can only store data in the memory.
Files
- Files allow us to store data so that it persists even when our program is not running.
- This allows programs to 'carry on where they left off' when they are executed.
Text files
- Text files consist of string data that can be read and processed by many applications.
Binary files
- Binary files consist of binary data that is read and processed by specific applications.
