BINARY FILE
Binary files :- store data in the binary format (0’s and 1’s) which is understandable by
the machine. So when we open the binary file it converts and displays data in a human-
readable format.
Write data to a Binary File:
To read the data from a binary file, we have to use load( ) function of pickle module.
Reading data to a Binary File:
To read the data from a binary file, we have to use load( ) function of pickle module.
PICKLING AND UNPICKLING
Pickling: Pickling is the process whereby a Python object is converted into a byte
stream.
Unpickling: A byte stream is converted into Python object
tell( ) and seek( ) methods:
tell( ): It returns the current position of cursor in file.
seek(offset) : Change the cursor position by bytes as specified by the offset.
