works fine without the for loop.... if i use for loop...it doesnt give the output... where am i going wrong?
Code:#include<iostream> #include<conio.h> #include<fstream> using namespace std; main() { char c; int i; ifstream in; in.open("efg.txt"); int p=in.tellg(); for(i=1;i<p;i++) { in.seekg(-i,ios::end); in>>c; cout<<c; } in.close(); getch(); return 0; }
If by "works fine" you mean that it does nothing observable, then I suppose it works fine without the for loop. Your code has the same fundamental problem, with or without the loop, the only difference is whether there is a visible symptom.
You need to open the input file in binary mode. The streaming operators (<< and >>) are also formatted I/O (i.e. not for binary mode).
If the file isn't too large, it would be easier to read the entire file contents into memory, reverse them, and then output.
solved!
just had to add this line!!!Code:in.seekg(0,ios::end);
You're just getting lucky. You're on a system where binary and text mode files happen to be equivalent.
