writing files

[prob]

I am new to this and need some help. This program is suspose to write the assignment name, points possible, and grade in a file. Then it is suspose to display it. Later on I will need to be able to access the file so I can change some of the details but I don't know how to do that either.


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

int numberGrades;
char itemDescription[50];
int points[100];
int score[100];


bool writeFile()
{
ofstream output;
output.open("grades.txt", ios::app);
if (output.fail())
return false;

output << "4\n";
output << "Assign1 " << " 200 " << " 95\n"
<< "Assign2 " << " 100 " << " 80\n"
<< "Project " << " 100 " << " -1\n"
<< "Midterm " << " 100 " << " -1\n";
if (output.fail())
{
output.close();
return false;
}

output.close();
return true;
}


bool readFile()
{
int num;
ifstream input;
input.open("grades.txt");
if (input.fail())
return false;

int count = 0;
for (count = 0; count < num && input.eof(); count++)
input >> numberGrades;
input >> itemDescription[count] >> points[count] >> score[count];

cout << numberGrades << endl;
cout << itemDescription[0] << " " << points[0] << " "
<< score[0] << endl;
cout << itemDescription[1] << " " << points[1] << " "
<< score[1] << endl;
cout << itemDescription[2] << " " << points[2] << " "
<< score[2] << endl;
cout << itemDescription[3] << " " << points[3] << " "
<< score[3] << endl;

exit(1);

input.close();
return true;
}


int main()
{
writeFile();
readFile();
return 0;
}

Please edit your post and put code tags around the code.

Check the for loop
Why do you have exit(1) in readFile?

He probably thinks it does something else.
