Hi there, I'm trying to learn C++ on Mac or actually learn to use XCode :D

I have managed to get input/output with working, but after giving the full path of the file I was writing in/reading from:
Code: 
ifstream f("users/.../data.in")

My question is, how can I just give the location as data.in.
Code: 
ifstream f("data.in")
I've been studying C++ on Windows until now and it's really simple in MS VC++, you just put the name of the file and you're good to go.

That's not a full path, so it won't work. Please post what you actually used.

You should study what working directory and relative path means.

Then learn how to change your working directory in Xcode.
