    For example, strings and arrays are passed by reference, but when modified, they are duplicated if they have non-zero reference counts. This allows them to act as value types without the performance problems of copying on assignment or making them immutable. [8] In the Qt framework, many types are copy-on-write ("implicitly shared" in Qt's terms).

A flat file can be a plain text file (e.g. csv, txt or tsv), or a binary file. Relationships can be ...

Some filenames are given extensions ...
