Challenges: i) The fgets, fwrite and fread commands are often used for binary streams. I've assumed that this is the reason why any data which involves numbers has automatically been encoded into it's binary format. I reached out to my professor for guidance with respect to this issue. However when the records are being read to be displayed there is no error in displaying of records.
