Thread: Having trouble with program

Hi, I am new to this group and would first like to say hello to everyone. I am having some major problems getting on track for a school project and I am at my wits end. I think the teacher goes out of his way to make our lives difficult. Basically I am just looking for some help here, some direction, maybe even some example code. I pretty much know what I need to do, but I am having alot of trouble translating it to code. Below are some links to the project specs and some very raw, very basic, and probabaly very wrong "scratch code" i am working on. If anyone can give me any help at all it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanx for reading!

This is the proj spex:

The header file he gave us:

http://users.adelphia.net/~cjr1976/map.h

My current "scratch code":

http://users.adelphia.net/~cjr1976/map.cc
http://users.adelphia.net/~cjr1976/main.cc

These 2 links are for an example input file and an example output using the file:

http://users.adelphia.net/~cjr1976/map1.dat
http://users.adelphia.net/~cjr1976/map1.out

We are using Pico in Unix to edit and G++ to compile if that helps in any way.

Again I would like to thank anyone in advance that tries to help.

Ya I know, like I said it is rough, I was mainly just coding and testing certain things, and was going to break up into functions later. But i am not even sure if I am heading in the right direction, what functions should contain what operations, and how to bring it all together. I am working on breaking it down now, just wanted to get some things working before I introduce more problems Thanx!
