Data storage is a mandatory feature in all applications. When we enter any data while running a program, that data is stored as RAM, which means that it is temporary in nature. We will not get that data back when running the program the next time. But what if we want the data to stay there so we can refer to it again when we need it? In this case, we have to store the data.
Basically, we want our data to be stored and to be accessible and available for reuse whenever required. In C, data storage can be done through traditional file handling techniques and through the database system. The following are the two types of file handling available in C:
- Sequential file handling: Data is written in a simple text format and can be read and written sequentially. To read the nth line, we have to first read n-1 lines.
- Random file handling: Data is written as bytes and can...
