This section is usually from an advanced chapter in your textbook. Take a look at the study helps and quiz to see if you need to spend extra time here. Once you feel you have mastered this section you should have no trouble with our next topic of Arrays. Array programming is one of my favorite topics.

In most textbooks the vocabulary you use for files would be considered advanded. Our text uses chapter 10 to give demonstrations of file use. Items that you find unfamiliar with should be researched and placed in your list of things to remember. Some will be highlighted as we continue in our training. Some may vary depending on the programming tools you choose. This section would be considered a basic skills intro for files.
