C++ Standard Template Library in Practice - File I/O

The video tutorial covers the importance of file IO in software development, explaining how C++ uses stream operations for file handling. It introduces key classes like ifstream, ofstream, and fstream, and discusses various file modes such as readonly, write, append, and binary. A practical code example demonstrates file operations, including reading and writing data. The tutorial concludes with a brief overview of error handling and a preview of the next topic on string streams.
