Is there anything wrong with this source code?

[hotglass]

The inFile was made in Word for Mac and it contains the number 5.50. When I run this, it is successful, yet there is just a blank output, where I want it to display the number 5.50.


#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main (int argc, char * const argv[])
{
double dec;
ifstream inFile;
inFile.open ("sample.txt");
inFile >> fixed >> showpoint;

inFile >> dec;

return 0;

}

This is the output:

Hi

Aren't you missing:-


cout << dec << endl ;


or something like it?

Also you may want to use the full file path to sample.txt to avoid and ambiguity between your project and current directory.
