spell checker!!

ok so I am trying to do this spell checker. I have both the dictionary and the word I am trying to check on text files. When i try to run it this weird output comes up.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;

const int LENGTH=10;
int BinarySearch(char bs[][LENGTH],int size,char search[LENGTH]);

void main()
{
int position;
int x=0;
char dictionary[100][LENGTH];
char word[LENGTH+1];
ifstream ifst;
ifst.open("hello.txt");

if(ifst.fail())
{
cout<<"dictionary file opening failed \n";
}

for(int x=0; !ifst.eof();x++)
{

ifst.getline(dictionary[x],LENGTH);
cout<<dictionary<<endl;
}
ifst.close();

ifstream sent;
sent.open("sentence.txt");

if(sent.fail())
{
cout<<"sentence file not found \n";
}

for(int m=0;!sent.eof();m++)
{
sent>>word;
sent.getline(word,LENGTH);
cout<<word<<endl;
}

position=BinarySearch(dictionary,x,word);
if(position==-1)
{
cout<<"the word is mispelled \n";
}

else
cout<<"everything is correct \n";

}

int BinarySearch(char bs[][LENGTH],int size,char search[LENGTH])
{
int first=0;
int last=size-1;
int middle=0;
int compared;
int position=-1;

while(first<=last)
{
middle=(first-last)/2;
compared=strcmp(search,bs[middle]);
if (compared==0)
{
return middle;
}
else if(compared>0)
first=middle+1;
else
last=middle-1;
}
return position;
}

Output:

ok so I am trying to do this spell checker. I have both the dictionary and the word I am trying to check on text files. When i try to run it this weird output comes up.

#include "stdafx.h"

const int LENGTH=10;
int BinarySearch(char bs[][LENGTH],int size,char search[LENGTH]);

void main()
{
	int position;
	int x=0;
	char dictionary[100][LENGTH];
	char word[LENGTH+1];
	ifstream ifst;
	ifst.open("hello.txt");

	if(ifst.fail())
	{
		cout<<"dictionary file opening failed \n";
	}

	for(int x=0; !ifst.eof();x++)
	{
		ifst.getline(dictionary[x],LENGTH);
		cout<<dictionary<<endl;
	}
	ifst.close();

	ifstream sent;
	sent.open("sentence.txt");

	if(sent.fail())
	{
		cout<<"sentence file not found \n";
	}

	for(int m=0;!sent.eof();m++)

		cout<<word<<endl;
	}


	position=BinarySearch(dictionary,x,word);
	if(position==-1)
	{
		cout<<"the word is mispelled \n";
	}
	else
	{
		cout<<"everything is correct \n";
	}
}

A few errors:
cout<<dictionary<<endl;
This will print the address to the dictionary not the dictionary itself, maybe its meant to be:
cout<<dictionary[x]<<endl;

Also you need not declare x in line 14.
Apparently using .eof is not good (idk why) I always use .good() or .bad()

The following lines are the same:

1
2

sent>>word;
		sent.getline(word,LENGTH);

Binary Search is not implemented.

Please note that the above information could possibly have errors as I have not tested your code
