Hello,
I just started C++ and I have this assignment to write. I started writing it but I can't seem to get this one thing and that is how to create a new contact and store it in a file.
I need to know if I used the structure correctly. Also I don't know how you create multiple contacts with a loop. I wouldn't necessarily need the answer from you guys. I just want to know what topics I need to learn to be able to do this.
What do I need to use? That's all I need. I can write the programs for myself.
Also if you guys can tell me how you search for and display a single contact. That would be helpful. Thanks for understanding.
pscha3
