Writes a 3D array to a binary file and reads the file back to another 3D array

I have a task. I have to create a 3D array of random size, write it to the binary file, then read the binary file back to the program and create another 3D array the same as the first one I had a problem reading back the program. After a few hours, I could only get the first int or the last int from the previous array I haven't passed the first 2D yet, so I just allocated some space to make the array work, but once I get it, it should be fast The ReadData () method caused me a problem Thank you in advance

Solution

As you wrote, every time you loop in the innermost loop, it will not be read from the file - not in the outer loop So you only read it once

ins. The readint () call should be in the innermost loop because you need to read each table cell
