Re: confused abt file operations

Hi Again,
So what about numbers wirtten to /read from the text/binary files?
I read that in text files numbers are stored as characters or strings
rather than their actual values.So a number 1234 will occoupy5 bytes(4
+ ' \0 ' ).In binary files,numbers are stored as actual values i.e 1234
is stored as 2 bytes integer and so on..
was the book correct?
