14.4.5 | Binary Modes

When numerical data is to be transferred to disk from RAM, the data occupies more memory space

on disk. For example, a number 234567 needs 3 bytes memory space in RAM and when transferred to

disk requires 6 bytes memory space. For each numerical digit one byte space is needed. Hence, total

requirement for the number 234567 would be 6 bytes. Thus, text mode is inefficient for storing large

amount of numerical data because space occupation by it is large. Only solution to this inefficient

memory use is to open a file in binary mode, which takes lesser space than text mode. Few binary

modes are described belo ...
