Question

A file must be ________ before data can be written to or read from it. closed opened buffered initialized none of these

Answer 1

Answer: Opened

Explanation:

• File is defined as object that holds information, commands ,data etc and allotted with specific name known as file name.

• A file needs to be opened for performing functions like reading, writing changing elements, saving any changes made  or closing etc.

• Other options are incorrect because buffer is used for holding information before using it for short period of time.

• Closing action can be performed only after opening a file. Initialization is defining any value that is required in program.

• Thus , the correct option is opened.
