Thread: Printing to file / Output issues

I'm trying to make a program that outputs every hour and minute of the day in

hh:mm format and then print all of that to a text file.

However, I have no idea how to make it go about printing it as

00:00
00:01
00:02 and so on.

Any help would be appreciated, as well as how to make it write every single timestamp to a text file.

Thanks in advance.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  int n;
  int m;
  cin >> n;
      while (n>-2 && n<24)
      {
      cout << setfill('0') << setw(2) << ++n << "";
      }
  cin >> m;
      while (m>-2 && m<60)
      {
  cout << setfill('0') << setw(2) << ++m << "";
       }
  cout << n << ":" << m;
  system("PAUSE");
  EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

I am new to c++ and a noob at it, could you help me out a little more than that, pretty please?

Because I messed around with it a lot before coming to ask for help. I wouldn't come and ask for help if I had a clue.

Ah, thank you kindly for the tip. I will use that from now on. =)

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
    int hh;
    int mm;
    for ( mm = 0 ; mm < 59 ; mm++)
    for ( hh = 0 ; hh < 24 ; hh++)
    
    ofstream myfile;
    myfile.open ("TimeStamps.txt");
    cout.fill('0');
    myfile.fill('0');
    myfile << setw(2) << mm << ":" << hh;
    cout.fill(' ');
    myfile.fill(' ');
    myfile.close;

Changed it up a little, but it gives me the error of:

"14 C:\Dev-Cpp\Practice\Time1.cpp `myfile' undeclared (first use this function)"

Like this?

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
    int hh;
    int mm;
        
    ofstream myfile;
    myfile.open ("TimeStamps.txt");
    for ( mm = 0 ; mm < 59 ; mm++)
    for ( hh = 0 ; hh < 24 ; hh++)

    cout.fill('0');
    myfile.fill('0');
    myfile << setw(2) << hh << ":" << mm;
    cout.fill(' ');
    myfile.fill(' ');
    myfile.close();

It's only outputting this: "24:59"
Not sure what is wrong with it now.

Your loops need braces around the code that is supposed to be in the loop. Otherwise, only the next statement will be a part of that loop. In this case, that means that your loops only execute the cout.fill('0'); line over and over again 1500 times, then execute the code after it once.

BTW, your first loop should probably stop at 60, not 59.

I have no idea how to go about fixing that. Could you point me into the right direction or something? And I didn't think the indents were a big deal on small code, usually pretty easy to follow, no?
