47 New Member
i need to read/write to a text/binary file without using any header file in c.
i cant use the FILE strucutire as it is defined in stdio.h nor can i use file input/output functions as they are defined in fstream.header file???i think that i need to define my own functions for file i/o...how??

The only other choice I think of are the system level routines for IO. These are the calls used by other mechanisms, like FILE*, but they are accessed through header files.

Remember, this is a C/C++ forum and in these languages, you gain access to the operating system through the header files and associated libraries.

The way I have typically done this in the ASP world was with cookies. Another way to handle this is with a keyed record in a database, but the cookie strategy reduces the number of times I need to hit a...

I cannot change anything in the program but can add some features by which I can convert this array of data into a file. The easiest thing would be to write the data into a file (in hard disk) and use it. But I will be working on thousands...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
