expected response

​File organization refers to the way data is stored in a file. File organization is very important because it determines the methods of access, efficiency, flexibility and storage devices to use. 

1. Serial
   Records in a file are stored and accessed one after another. This method is mostly used with magnetic tapes
2. Random
   Random file organization also called direct file organization, records stored randomly but accessed directly. To access a file stored randomly, a record key is used to determine where a record is stored on the storage media. This method is mostly used with Hard disks, floppy disks, optical disks such as compact disks (CD) and digital versatile disks (DVD).
