accessing sequential files "newbie"
i have a sequential file named number.txt it contains the numbers 10 thru 20 . i need to access this file and add a value of one to each number. then create and write to a file called updatedNumbers.txt. this is for school. im trying to get a c to pass. i have took this class twice already. it is online with limted help. i'm so confused and i don't understand a lot of what's going on. i think i make take up heavy drinking if i don't figure out some thing soon. i would appreciate any help. i have posted a thread earlier on another project but have abandoned it it's too much for me. but any way here is my program any advice would be helpful and greatly appreciated.

//write the updated numbers to the file
outFile << heading << endl << endl;
