Help!..."File Processing" *questions inside*

[Fasola]

Right now I'm reading up on the chapter "File Processing" to help me quench my thirst for putting C++ to USE in the real world. Seems to be the most powerful subject so far.

Can you please clarify the difference between Sequential Access Files and Random Access Files? What are their Advantages and Disadvantages?

I answered your question in the original thread that you asked it, but for convenience I'll copy the answer here:

>Can you please clarify the difference between Sequential Access Files and Random Access Files?
Humor my love for simile. A sequential access file is like traversing a linked list, while a random access file is like indexing an array. The same advantages and disadvantages apply.

Going from one end to the other.

Of the many things that I can do at work, playing chess would raise too many eyebrows.

Not the boss boss, just the boss. I can still get fired by any of my superiors.

If you did get fired, with your knowledge of C++ and my B2B sales savvy we could open our own Software Solutions company.

Microsoft ain't got shit on us girl!
