Reading from binary files in C

I had a very interesting idea if I take a file, extract the binaries from it and concatenate them to form a sequential number, then convert it to decimal. Finally find a tetration that represents this number. I was studying mathematics and I came across the Graham number, the tetration notation seems simple, with few symbols we manage to obtain such huge numbers that not even the entire universe on a sheet of paper would be enough to write in full. Will my idea work? I was excited about the idea. Imagine supercompactors, even offering a service, the hard part is finding powerful processors to handle that volume of data without having to wait hours for operations.

Brillant explanation !

I appreciate this! It's is a great guide for loading in structs that you placed in the file, and it is also a great companion for your writing binary file video. However, I am having a problem with reading in an entire file, of arbitrary size and structure into C/C++. The binary file has segments of data of a dynamic length that is specified in segment headers. I am trying to just dump the whole thing into a unsigned char array and work with it from within C/C++ on a Windows system. I haven't been able to find anything out there to help me with this.

Can u tell how to read. dat extension file plzz

How would you write a value to a particular memory address in a binary file?

Hi, how can I read the leading zeros? For example, the 0`s before ff ff ff?

love your videos man...hope you will keep uploading on this platform

Great and clear explanation! You just saved my semester thank you very much

Where can i get the code from any of your tutorials? Great video btw😀

As always, saving my ass

how do you read multiple elements from a binary file without knowing how many are present? i'm guessing you'd read one element at a time in a loop but how do you stop?

Ok but how do you store more than one structure of data in a binary file?

you teach better than my professor :D

Please help or guide on how to determine the buffer struct variables in reading unknown binary file.

In a binary file element can be integer numbers representing elements of a square matrix . And if yes its written as integer or hex code?

You have cool looking haircut :D

Your videos are gold! Subbed without hesitation💪👍
