What is the difference between text and binary modes?

Question:What is the difference between text and binary modes??

Answer: </I>Streams can be classified into two types: <I>text </I>streams and <I>binary </I>streams. Text streams are interpreted, with a maximum length of 255 characters. With text streams, carriage return/line feed combinations are translated to the newline n character and vice versa. Binary streams are uninterpreted and are treated one byte at a time with no translation of characters. Typically, a text stream would be used for reading and writing standard text files, printing output to the screen or printer, or receiving input from the keyboard.&nbsp; A binary text stream would typically be used for reading and writing binary files such as graphics or word processing documents, reading mouse input, or reading and writing to the modem. &nbsp;
