Data types of the values inside a text file ?

[KaKa]

Hi, In a text file, are the data types of the values in the file all of the type char or can there be integers inside? I wrote a code which produces random numbers and they are to be written to a text file. int value; ofstream outClientFile("1111 combination.txt",ios::out); value = rand()%2; outClientFile<

The operator<< of ostream will convert everything it takes to string, and then insert into the stream. So of course the value will be converted to string. If you'd like to write as a integer but not a string, you may use the write() method.

it upto to you treat data in file... every thing written in file is string or binary digit (in case of binary file, which in turn also a string!)..
