Question

After a file stream is associated with a file for reading purposes (in other words, this file will provide input info to a program), the program can read the content of this file using:

a) The operator>> function
b) The seekp() function
c) The getline() function
d) The seekg() function

Answer 1

For reading the content of a file, the program can use either the operator>> function or the getline() function which are suited for reading formatted data and lines respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

After a file stream is associated with a file for reading purposes, the program can read the content of this file using several methods. Among the options provided:

• The operator>> function is commonly used to read formatted data from a file.
• The seekp() function is used to move the put pointer to a specific location in the file for writing, so it's irrelevant in the context of reading from a file.
• The getline() function is often used to read a whole line from a file into a string.
• The seekg() function is used to move the get pointer to a specific location in the file for reading, but it does not read content by itself.

Therefore, the correct answers are a) The operator>> function and c) The getline() function.
