It does run and do what it's suppose to but I dont know why, and I dont know how to get the code back.

Well, if it does run, then I suggest that you look somewhere on your computer for a file called
Assign 4.cpp

DevC++ uses a project file, ending with a .dev suffix, which controls the settings for the project.
A simple one might start like this:
1
2
3
 
[Project]
FileName=Hello.dev
Name=Hello


and then further down it could have:
1
2
 
[Unit1]
FileName=main.cpp


Unfortunately it looks as though you might have accidentally over-written your cpp file (with your precious code) with the project file (which is automatically generated). If so, then your work may have been lost.

Some editors and IDEs keep automatic backups, but I don't think devc++ does, so you may be unlucky. (I hope not).

Unforntently the code was forever lost. Had to re-write it, thank you for trying to help. Always taking a picture of my code just in case from now on
