totally 3 files r involved
one removes the comments
other is the program having comments
other is output printed without any comments containing c or c++ code
prethanks to the helper
send the source code or provide link
This forum does not provide source code.
That could be implemented as a state machine: while iterating over the input your program will be either in a "inside-a-comment" or "out-side-a-comment" state, outputting to the other file only in the latter case.
This might be rather tricky as you'd also have to take into account that you may meet // inside a quote "//this is a string not a comment" and possibly malformed comments.
I might be wrong.
Quoted more than 1000 times (I hope).Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.

If you're going to demand that other people help you cheat on an assignment, the least you could do is use the word "please."
Blatant homework rule violation.
All the buzzt!
