I am confused about looping through an infile for my homework.
in my header file I have:
class Item
{
friend istream& operator>>(istream&, Item&);
public:
void print() const;
Item(string *p, string *d, double *pr);
private:
string *part;
string *deptNo;
double *itemPrice;
};
in my cpp file I have:
Item::Item(string* p, string* d, double* pr)
{
part = p;
deptNo = d;
itemPrice = pr;
}
Then in my file I have:
void readDataItem(istream& in, string& partNum, string& dept, double& price);
int main()
string partNum;
string dept;
double price;
string inputFileName = "input.txt";
string sortFileName = "sorted.txt";
ofstream outData;
ifstream inData;
inData.open(inputFileName.c_str());
while (!inData.eof())
{
readDataItem(inData, partNum, dept, price);
Now, I'm stuck. I thought I could use an array since I have pointers, but I can't figure out how to do it. If I cout<<inData, I get 0s and each individual item doesn't give me anything, but all 3 together gives me an endless loop. If I could just get the next couple of steps, I could finish this homework, but I'm stuck right here. Please help..
