This document contains instructions for a computer science course assignment on file organization. It lists 5 theoretical questions defining files, file structures, logical vs physical files, and standard I/O devices. It also lists 5 C programming exercises to create, open, read from and write to files. Finally it lists 2 additional C++ programming exercises and requests students choose one problem to implement in an IDE.

Sheet 2: Fundamentals of Operations in File Processing
Theoretical
1. Define the file with example?
2. Where do file structures fit in CS?
3. What are differences between physical files and logical files?
4. State the logical filenames associated to std IO devices?
5. Describe in details the seeking for file by using C and C++?
Programs
6. Write a program to create a file and store a character b in it.
7. Write another program to open the file from question 5 and read it using C.
8. Write another program to open the file from question 5 and read it using C++.
9. Write a program to read one character and another to read 3 character from specified file
and write it in another file with C.
10. Repeat the question 8 with C++.
11. Write a program to calculate any file size.
Research
12. Choose one problem and make it by any IDE for C/C++.
