Read arithmetic binary data using fstreams #1

int m;
ifstream results("numbers.dat");
results.read(reinterpret_cast < char * > (&m), sizeof(m));
//note the fact that we recast the integer 'm' to a 'char' before reading in the value
 
/*
read() returns a reference to ifstream so you retrieve multiple values as follows:
 
results.read(&c, sizeof(c)).read(&d, sizeof(d));
