Short Answers for File Handling and STL in C++

1. Write a short note on adapted containers

Adapted containers are wrappers around existing STL containers to provide restricted interfaces.

Examples:

- stack (adapts deque/list/vector)

- queue (adapts deque/list)

- priority_queue (adapts vector)

2. Describe the difference between manipulators and ios functions

- Manipulators: Format output using syntax like cout << setw(10).

- ios functions: Member functions like setf(), unsetf() to set formatting flags.

3. List the various types of I/O manipulators with example

- setw(n): Set width

- setprecision(n): Set precision

- setfill(ch): Fill empty space

- endl: Newline

Example:

cout << setw(10) << setfill('*') << 123 << endl;

4. What is the need for iterators? What is the role in STL.

Iterators provide a uniform way to access elements of containers.

Role: Help traverse and manipulate container data.

Example: vector<int>::iterator it;

5. Explain classes for the file stream operations

- ifstream: for input

- ofstream: for output

- fstream: for input/output

Derived from istream, ostream, or both.

6. What is difference between IO using put(), get() and IO using getline() and write().
Short Answers for File Handling and STL in C++

- put(char): Outputs one character

- get(): Reads one character

- getline(): Reads a whole line

- write(): Outputs binary data

7. Define Standard Template Library.

STL is a set of C++ template classes and functions for data structures and algorithms.

Includes:

- Containers (vector, list)

- Algorithms (sort, find)

- Iterators

8. How may ways a file can be opened? List them.

File open modes:

- ios::in

- ios::out

- ios::app

- ios::binary

- ios::ate

- ios::trunc

9. List the parameters of open() function.

Syntax: file.open("filename", mode);

Parameters:

- filename: name of the file

- mode: ios::in, ios::out, etc.

10. What are the functions for manipulation of file pointer?

- seekg(): move get pointer

- seekp(): move put pointer

- tellg(): get get pointer position


Short Answers for File Handling and STL in C++

- tellp(): get put pointer position
