How would I read words from a text file and store them in as a C-String? I know how to do it if we were allowed to store it in as a C++ string however we are not allowed to use strings for this project.
See "Strings and null-terminated character sequences" on this page. The syntax whether using std::string or c-string is usually the same. http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ntcs/
The main difference is getline() which comes in two flavours.
