File Processing & File Organisation

13 min read

Serial, sequential, random and indexed-sequential file organisation, file access methods, hashing for direct access, and reading from and writing to text and record files in pseudocode.

Why files?

Data in variables/arrays is lost when a program ends. Files provide persistent storage on backing store so data survives between runs and can be shared.
