* QB64 can save larger arrays directly to binary files using [[PUT]] # and [[GET]] # without [[BSAVE]]. For that reason, use of [[BSAVE]] is no longer recommended practice but is supported to maintain compatibility with legacy code.
* [[VARPTR]] returns the array index offset of the memory segment. Array sizes are limited to 32767 Integer elements due to the use of [[VARPTR]] in QBasic and '''QB64''''s emulated conventional memory.
* [[BSAVE]] files can later be opened with [[BLOAD]].
: ''Explanation:'' Procedure determines the filesize from the array size automatically. [[LBOUND]] is used with [[UBOUND]] to determine array size and byte size. Works with any type of array except variable-length strings. Used for saving program data fast.
: ''Explanation:'' The [[FOR...NEXT|FOR]] loop reads backwards through the image array until it finds a value not 0. The [[LONG]] {{Parameter|ArraySize&}} value is doubled and 200 is added. {{Parameter|BMPhead.PWidth}} and {{Parameter|BMPhead.PDepth}} are found by reading the bitmap's information header using a [[TYPE]] definition. See [[Bitmaps]].
''Example 3:'' Using [[PUT]] and [[GET]] to write and read array data from a file without using BSAVE or [[BLOAD]]:
: ''Explanation:'' A 10 by 10 pixel box is saved to an array using the [[GET (graphics statement)]] and written to a BINARY file using [[PUT]] #1. Then [[GET]] #1 places the file contents into another INTEGER array and places it on the screen with the [[PUT (graphics statement)]].
: The array contents: 88 is the width in the GET array for [[SCREEN]] 13 which needs divided by 8 in that mode only. The area is actually 11 X 11. The array size needed can be found by looping backwards through the array until a color value is found. '''{{text|IF array(i) <> 0 THEN EXIT FOR|green}}''' (66 integers) or by dividing the created BINARY file size in half (134 bytes) when known to be array sized already.
