Question

Give examples of applications that access files by each of the following methods:

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Usually, applications would have the capability of using either one of these options. But for the sake of the question here are some that usually prefer one method over the other.

Any program that targets an API usually uses Sequential access. This is because API's contain all of the data as objects. Therefore, you need to access that object and sequentially navigate that object to the desired information in order to access the data required.

A music application would have access to an entire folder of music. If the user chooses to set the application to randomly play music from that folder, then the application will use a Random Access method to randomly choose the music file to load every time that a song finishes.
