C++ Files

The fstream library allows us to work with files.

To use the fstream library, include both the standard <iostream> AND the <fstream> header file:

Example

There are three classes included in the fstream library, which are used to create, write or read files:

Class	Description
ofstream	Creates and writes to files
ifstream	Reads from files
fstream	A combination of ofstream and ifstream: creates, reads, and writes to files
