The output should be showing
Question 1
1a
1b
1c
1
as a string, string array of 3 choices and an int in a struct
getline(triviaFile, tempFile.tempQuestion);
for(int i = 0; i < NUM_CHOICES; i++)
{
getline(triviaFile, tempFile.tempChoices[i]);
}
triviaFile >> tempFile.tempAnswer;
The output after the first loop through
//empty line
Question 2
2a
2b
2 //should have been 2c
c
2
question 3
3a
3
As far as I can tell the problem is with the >> but I can't figure out what it is exactly I am doing wrong, any assistance would be welcome.
