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.
