Answer 1

Writing in a file means whatever data you want to store in your file.

File can be of many type (extensions) like .txt .mp3 .wav .mp4

But while learning programming we normally deal with only text files .txt and its not necessary that you will have to use only scanf to write into a text file there are many ways to write in a text file.
