Ofstream doesn't write to file in inheritance

Red20XX (1)
Hi everyone, I am doing a C++ project for school in the UNIX lab that requires inheritance. My main program is calculating linear regression for some plotted points and I'm inheriting a linear system solver from another program. The linear system solver is suppose to print the solved values to a text file and my main program is to read that file and use that data for the regression but for some reason the solver doesn't write anything to the file. The solver code was given by my professor so I don't think anythings wrong with it so maybe its something I'm not doing.

Here is a sample input file for the main program:

1
2
3
4
5
 
0.0  1.0
1.0  3.1
2.1  5.2
3.1  6.9
4.2  9.1


Here is the main code:

#include "p7.h"
#include <fstream.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
	EZ_CURVE_FIT C(5);
	C.LS_FIT_BY_ME("in_7_1");
	return 0;
}


Here is my header p7.h

	EZ_MATH temp_m("in_6",np);

From where my main code ends, I'm expecting a file called out_61 with the solved system but I get a blank file. I can cout before the ofstream write of these headers and find that the correct data was calculated but it will not print it to the file and all the streams are declared in all headers. So if anyone can help, I would be thankful.
