Chapter Summary
This chapter examined how to open, close, and create files using the Standard I/O Library. It also discussed how to perform both unformatted and formatted I/O on those files. We have seen how the library handles the tasks of I/O buffering, I/O conversion, and I/O formatting for us, saving us the trouble of doing these things ourselves. Input and output are the two most important things a program can do—without them, computers wouldn't be good for much more than heating up the room.
