File Input and Output in C++

This lesson covers file input/output (file I/O). Being able to read from and write to secondary storage is important because often we want to keep some data persistently. By the end of this lesson, you will have the skills necessary to do this.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the fundamentals of both file input and file output and how to use both in tandem
• Use stream manipulators to make the structure of the data more organized
• Use dynamic memory, pointers, and classes to make more complex and interesting applications

Intended Audience

• Beginner coders, new to C++
• Developers looking to upskill by adding C++ to their CV
• College students and anyone studying C++

Prerequisites

To get the most out of this lesson, you should have a basic understanding of the fundamentals of C++.
