Tabular refers to the representation of data in a table. Graphical form refers to the representation of data in a graph.
it refers to Logistic data !
data
Inputted is currect when it refers to entering data into a computer system.
The data refers to drugs dispensed in a hospital pharmacy.
That would be sequential reading or writing, as appropriate.
Sequential access refers to reading and writing dataæconsecutively. For instance, like a hard disk or compact disc, the information can only be used in the same order it was created.
Reading and writing data consecutively refers to the process of sequentially accessing data stored in a computer's memory or on a storage device. This means that data is accessed in a specific order, with each piece of data being accessed immediately after the previous one. For example, when reading a file sequentially, the computer would start at the beginning of the file and read each block of data in order until it reaches the end of the file. Similarly, when writing data consecutively, each new piece of data is written immediately after the previous one in a continuous stream. Sequential access is often used when dealing with large amounts of data that are stored in a specific order, such as in a database or in a file format optimized for sequential access. By accessing data in this way, it can be read or written more efficiently and with less overhead compared to randomly accessing individual pieces of data.
Writing data is when you store it. Reading data is when you retrieve what is already stored.This is really not much different than understanding the difference between writing something onto paper and reading something off of a piece of paper.

Reading a disk involves accessing and retrieving data that is already stored on the disk, while writing to a disk involves adding new data or modifying existing data on the disk. Reading does not change the content of the disk, whereas writing alters the information stored on the disk.

Buffer index typically refers to the position within a buffer or memory area where data is stored or processed. It can be used to keep track of the current location or offset within the buffer, allowing for efficient data manipulation and transfer. In networking or programming contexts, buffer index is commonly used when reading or writing data from/to memory buffers.
This is called "Formatting"
# Do you need random access to the data? # Does the data need to be ordered? # Can there be duplicate entries? # Are you more interested in reading from or writing to the data structure? # Are you more interested in data access speed or data storage size?
