The three read commands are reading the first, the second and the third
element of the file (and interpret them as Int32). That the values are in
general different should not be a surprise.
Yes, after you finish reading the file, you should close it:
f = open("numbers.dat")
anInt = read(f, Int32)
a_million_floats = read(f, Float64, 1_000_000)
close(f)
