WP: 8. Dynamically show post taxonomies and their data in tab format [Solved]

    Today I ran into a problem, I need to dynamically show post taxonomies and their data in tab format and found this solution. And nonetheless, It's better to fix the thing with some bunch of code rather than uploading one more bulky plugin on your website that will end up making your site heavy. Just follow the steps below and avoid heading up into any malicious or bulky plugin for this particular problem from now on forever.

C++: 9. File Handling

Files are used to store data in a storage device permanently. File handling provides a mechanism to store the output of a program in a file and perform various operations on it. Example of opening/creating a file    #include<iostream> #include<fstream> using namespace std; int main() { fstream new_file; new_file.open("new_file",ios::out); if(!new_file) { cout<<"File creation failed"; } else { cout<<"New file created"; new_file.close(); // Step 4: Closing file } return 0; } Writing to a File #include <iostream> #include <fstream> using namespace std; int main() { fstream new_file; new_file.open("new_file_write.txt",ios::out); if(!new_file) { cout<<"File creation failed"; } else { cout<<"New file created"; new_file<<"Learning File handling"; //Writing to file new_file.close();
