c++ program that count the occurrence of character in a text file and produce a histogram of the character count.

Here is what i have so far:

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

int main()
{
	int sum=0; 
	int count [26];
	char ch;
	ifstream inFile; 
    string fileName;
    string word;
    
	inFile.open("input any text file in");
while (inFile >> ch){

  if (isalpha(ch)) {
   ch = tolower(ch);
   count[ch - 'a']++;
  }
 
 while (inFile >> ch){

  if (isalpha(ch)) {
   ch = tolower(ch);
   count[ch - 'a']++;
  }
 }

    cout << "Number of words in file is " << count;
    inFile.close();

    cin.get();  
    return 0;
}

I also need to do a loop that scan the count array and check if the element is bigger than the previous one.

1. Why do you need this second while-loop? Its body will never be executed because its condition initially fails.

2. Your final cout-statement will only print the pointer value of count pointing to an array of ints. You should better loop over the array count printing its 26 values.
