Need help with Functions Assignment from Class.

[dropglock]

Hello everyone I am new here and I am also new to C++. I am stuck here... this is what I have done so far. Can someone tell me what I did wrong(if any) and help me complete this assignment by tomorrow? The PDF of the assignment is in the attachment. If you are going to help me please limit your suggestions to only material under using void functions, Thanks.

code:

#include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <string> #include <iomanip> using namespace std; void greeting(); void getName(); int main () {         ifstream inputFile1, inputFile2;         ofstream outputFile;         string userInput, userInput2, data1, skip;         cout << "Supply the input file name to process." << endl;         cin >> userInput;         inputFile1.open(userInput.c_str());                 if (inputFile1.fail())         {                 cout << "The input file does not exist" << endl;                 cout << "Exit the program and try again..." << endl;                 return 0;         }         else         {                 cout << "Supply the output file name to process." << endl;                 cin >> userInput2;                 inputFile2.open(userInput2.c_str());         }         if (inputFile2.fail())         {                 cout << "The output file does not exist" << endl;                 cout << "Exit the program and try again..." << endl;                 return 0;         }         else         {                 greeting();                 getName();                 while( !inputFile1.eof())                 {                 inputFile1 >> data1;                 }         } } void greeting() {         cout << "Joe's Grading Calculator" << endl;         cout << endl;         cout << "==================================================" << endl; } void getName() {         ifstream inputFile1, inputFile2;         ofstream outputFile;         string userInput, userInput2, name, data1, skip;         int t = 1;         int tt = 1;         inputFile1.open(userInput.c_str());         inputFile2.open(userInput2.c_str());         outputFile << "Joe's Grading Calculator" >> endl;                     // Come back to this later to see if things look correct.         outputFile << endl;         outputFile << "==================================================" >> endl;         outputFile << endl;         while (t = tt)         {         inputFile1 >> name;         getline(inputFile1, name);         getline(inputFile1, skip);         outputFile << "Your name is: " << name << endl; }

When i tried to compile the code it didnt like

code:

>> endl;

so I commented those out in getName(). Also your while loop in getName() is missing a closing bracket. I haven't read the assignment or what you need to do but that will get it to compile at least...

Hey thanks.. it compiled now. Damn those small things i missed..

Now it's not outputting the stuff I told it to output too in the getName() function. But there are also no errors...

Closely examine the while ( ... ) construct in getName.

As it is homework, that's all I say for now.

Cheers
