title: How to read MNIST data in C++?
body: <p>I'm having trouble reading the <a href="http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/" rel="noreferrer">MNIST database of handwritten digits</a> in C++. </p>
  
  <p>It's in a binary format, which I know how to read, but I don't know the exact format of MNIST. </p>
  
  <p>Therefore, I want to ask people who have read the MNIST data about the format of MNIST data and do you have any suggestions for how to read this data in C++?</p>
