wrong output

godric18 (5)
so im writing a game of life code that will make a glider gun pattern but i have to use the fstream to get the values from another file. this is what i have so far but its not working is my fstream code wrong or maybe i dont have the file in the right location.

I don't see your program read from a file anywhere. In savePattern you have code to write to a file but nothing that reads.
