Indexer PDF

The document describes a FileByteArray class that provides byte-level random access to the contents of a file as if it were a byte array. The class encapsulates a Stream that is used to read and write bytes at specified indices in the file. It allows opening a file, closing the stream, and reading or writing individual bytes via an indexer that accesses the underlying stream. A demonstration program is also provided that uses this class to reverse the bytes in a given file.
