If you want to learn how file handling in C++, you are the just in the right place. If you are familiar with C++ basics like data types, I/O statements, arrays, pointers, structures, classes then you are perfectly ready to take this course.
You do not need to now the basics of File Handling as we just started this topic from scratch and after understanding the basic topics, we will jump to create a project so that students can apply what they have learnt.
After this course you will be able to
· Learn the basics of C++ File Handling in an easy way
· Write C++ programs which teach them how to implement basic file handling functions and concepts
· Open and close files binary and text files
· Use different file handling functions like get(), put(), read(), write(), rdbuff(), getline() and many more.
· Use file pointers and their related functions
· Know what are binary files and why are they preferred over text files.
· Learn what are error flags and how to handles errors while reading/writing to files
· Make a console-based project in C++ based on file handling concepts.
· Add, delete, update, search records of students in the database
· Implement concepts & make project after doing C++ beginners level course
· Create mini-database( which is a binary file) that contains records of students
· Create Result Calculation System that calculates the result of whole class & also shows individual student result.
To provide a hands-on experience, the course basically creates a project that teaches how to create a mini-database using the concept of File Handling in C++. Once created, course teaches students how to use C++ File Handling Concepts to create, search, update and delete records in the database(a binary file is used as database to store students records). It also teaches how to retrieve records of students and show the class result or individual student result on the output screen. These all functions are performed by one program in C++ which is the project that we will teach students how to create and run that program.
