Files C

The document outlines the basic operations and types of files, including file opening modes and functions for file operations in programming. It also explains user-defined functions (UDFs), their types, and provides example programs demonstrating file creation and function usage. Key concepts include file handling functions like fopen, fclose, and user-defined function structures.

Files

------
A File is a collection of similar records.

Basic Operations on Files


------------------------------
1. Creating a file
2. Opening the file
3. Writing data into the file.
4. Reading data from the file.
5. Closing the file.

Types of Files in terms of storage


---------------------------------------
1. Text Files
2. Binary Files

Types of Files in terms of accessing


------------------------------------------
1. Sequential Files
2. Random Files

File Opening Modes


-----------------------
fopen("studentdata","w");
w- writing
r -reading
a-appending

w+
a+
r+

File Operation Functions


-----------------------------
fputc or putc ----
fgetc or getc

putw
getw

fprintf
fscanf

fclose
fcloseall()

Random Access Functions

rewind
fseek
ftell

/* Prg on creating a file */


#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
void main()
{
char ch1='c',ch2='i',ch3='v',ch4='i',ch5='l';
FILE *fp;
clrscr();
fp=fopen("civildata.dat","w");
fputc(fp,ch1);
fputc(fp,ch2);
fputc(fp,ch3);
fclose(fp);
fopen("civildata.dat","a");
fputc(fp,ch4);
fputc(fp,ch5);
fclose(fp);
fp=fopen("civildata.dat","r");
ch1=fgetc(fp);
ch2=fgetc(fp);
ch3=fgetc(fp);
ch4=fgetc(fp);
ch5=fgetc(fp);
printf("%c%c%c%c%c",ch1,ch2,ch3,ch4,ch5);
fclose(fp);
getch();
}

Functions
------------

A Function is a block of code that has a specific task to do.

Functions are of two types:


1. Standard or Library Functions
2. User-Defined Functions

The Functions which are designed by the user are called User-Defined
Functions(UDF's).

We can define the udf's in the following four models:

1. Function with no arguments and no return value.


2. Function with arguments but no return value.
3. Function with arguments and return value.
4. Function with no arguments but return value.

We can define our own function (udf) with the following syntax:

return-type function-name(arguments)
{
statement(s);
....
....
}
If the return-type is void, means function returns nothing.
If the arguments is void, takes nothing.

1. Function with no arguments and no return value

/* Prg on model 1 of udfs */


#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
void welcome(void)
{
printf("Welcome to the world of Functions");
}

void main()
{
clrscr();
welcome();
getch();
}

output
--------
Welcome to the world of Functions

2. Function with arguments but no return value

/* Prg on model 2 of User Defined Functions */


#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
void add(int x,int y)
{
int z;
z=x+y;
printf("The Addition Value is %d\n",z);
}

void main()
{
int a=10,b=20;
clrscr();
add(a,b);
getch();
}
