Flat files do not contain an end of file marker Almost all modern filesystems are stream based, just a bunch of bytes on disk, they don't have record/file markers Any end-of-file signal is added by the std library reading the file You should test that it deals properly with incomplete lines (ie 3 values rather than 4) and missing/differnet end of lines (CR or LF rather than CR/LF).

There is no standard EOF character - EOF is a condition returned by the method that reads from a file. For example, in C, getchar will return a system-specific negative value when it reaches the end of a file. Terminals will send back ASCII 4 (EOT, for end of transmission) when they are done transmitting, but this doesn't help you much as you aren't going to have EOTs in your files to begin with.So, this is good news for you - all your files are going to be treated the same, and you don't have to worry about handling files with no end.
If there is no end of file, you os will continue reading and overwriting until the stack over follows and start overwriting bit's you do not want altered. And if it gets to the part that has cake, it will get over written then there will be no cake. Therefore the cake will be a LIE!
Never forget the end of file!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
