    I/O help

    its initialised

    Code:
    char num_students[MAXCHARS];
    Code:
    inFile.getline(num_students,MAXCHARS, ' ');
    inFile>>num_students;
    cout << "Number of Students" << num_students <<endl;
    i get the right number .. but.. i then need to use num_students. in a for loop.. but wont let me.. cause its a char..

    i change it to int.. but it doesnt work..

    This will read the first integer from the file data.txt.

    Code:
    ifstream inFile("data.txt");
    int num_students;
    inFile >> num_students;
    Prove you can code in C++ or C# at TopCoder, referrer rrenaud
