Please Help?

Okay. So I'm pretty new to C++ Programming, and my class I'm taking isn't teaching the material well enough for me to understand. Well, for this, I have written code for a game show program that outputs its high scores to a .txt file (called High_Scores.txt). I need to write another program with two for ( ) loops that re-writes to the high score document, and reset the high scores with the user's input. I have no idea how to do this. Could you guys please help me out, or point me in the right direction? The only requirement it has is that it needs two for ( ) loops, and resets the high score document. Here is my code for the quiz show program:

Code:

What do you mean "you don't know how to reset the table".

You already have all the bits you need.

> //Initialize local variables
and
> // Output the high scores to a file
are the essential bits.

On a code presentation note, double-spacing the entire file makes it pretty unreadable.

Oh, and choose a decent topic title

Okay. Thank you for the info. And sorry about the double-spacing and all. I'm new to the site, and that's how I write my code until it's complete.
