Thread: First try with ARRAYS

I'm in deep trouble again. Sorry to be such a pest... I'm trying to learn to use Arrays. I understand that it's supposed to be the easy
way to program. Thus far, I have:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <ios>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;



int main ()
{
    
    cout << "You have chosen to play Florida's Mega_Money Lotto," << endl << endl;
    cout << " Please wait while I read the file " << endl << endl;
    
    int x = 0;

    // initialize 44 vairables from 0 thru 43

    
    int freq [44];

    for( int u = 0; u < 44; u++)
    {
        freq [u] = 0;

    }

    
    
    //Opens Temp_Program for reading the file
          
    ifstream a_file ( "D:\\LotteryPrograms\\Fla_Mega_Money\\Hist_temp.txt" );   

    for( int u = 0; u != EOF; u++)
    {
    
    a_file >> x;  // reads a number from the file MegaMil
    
    freq [ x - 1 ]++;

    }


    
    
    ofstream b_file ( "D:\\LotteryPrograms\\Fla_Mega_Money\\Loto_Temp_Program.txt" ); //Creates an instance of ofstream, and

    for( int u = 0; u < 44; u++)
    {
    
    b_file << "The number " << u + 1 << " appears " << freq [ u ] << " Times. " << endl << endl;

    }


    cout << "You should have it." << endl << endl;
    cin.get();


    return 0;

}

And when I build, there are no errors... but when I try to run the program, It just displays the first "cout" messages, and then
it just sits there (seemingly) doing nothing. The program does not crash. When I stop debugging I get the following errors.
What is a "PDB" file?

Code:

'Frequencies.exe': Loaded 'C:\Users\Therry.arkashea1-PC\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Frequencies\Debug\Frequencies.exe', Symbols loaded.
'Frequencies.exe': Loaded 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll', Cannot find or open the PDB file

The program '[6604] Frequencies.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

Can someone shed a little light on my problem, so I can understand what is happening? ... Thanks ... Therry

Thanks guys. I solved the problem with:

Code:

 for( int u = 0; a_file; u++)
