Answer / sivakumar y

small correction about pre run time array:

The file used as input must be a sequential program
described file. DURING INITIALIZATION, BUT BEFORE ANY
INPUT, CALCULATION, OR OUTPUT OPERATIONS ARE PROCESSED the
array is loaded with initial values from the file. By
modifying this file, you can alter the array’s initial
values on the next call to the program, WITHOUT RECOMPILING
the program.
