array of struct function not working

[badkaykay]

Please don't give me code - this is an assignment. I need help determining testing this as I am not getting any compiler errors, but I know something isn't right due to some "testing couts" not working. Please just point me to where to look to fix the error/s?

Here is my code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void openFile(ifstream&, string);
void countL(ifstream&);

int main()  { 

string fileName;	//input: name of text file
string sentence;
ifstream ins;

inf.close();
inf.clear();

while (!inf.eof()){

      getline(inf, sentence);


return 0 ;
}

It is working in the sense that it goes through the first two functions, but after that, I am not getting anything to display.

Thanks in advance.

Let consider your program step by step.

Why did you declare openFile with the second parameter if you pass nothing to it ?

void openFile(ifstream&, string);

string fileName;	//input: name of text file

....
//insert openFile function
openFile(inf, fileName);  // <== what is the meaning of that argument?

LOL - well I started to write about how I was passing the fileName to the function and realized I am in fact, NOT passing the fileName to the function.

Correction should be:

void openFile(ifstream&) // declaration
... other code
openFile(inf);  //call
...other code
void openFile(ifstream& inf) {     //definition
         function code.... blah blah
}

I just compiled it and it gave me this:

File is open.
