i try to understand how it works.
its supposed to work but isnt.
the following code shouldnt be working?what i do wrong?
i receive the constructor values.
#include "Person.h"
#include <iostream>
#include "fstream"
#include "cstdlib"
using namespace std;
int main()
{
fstream file("malakia.dat", ios::out | ios::in | ios::binary);
Person data;
if(!file)
{
cout<<"error file could not be opened";
exit(1);
}
data.setId(1);
data.setAge(99);
data.setFirstName("Hello");
data.setLastName("There");
file.seekp((data.getId()-1)*sizeof(Person));
file.write(reinterpret_cast <const char *>(&data),sizeof(Person));
Person x;
file.seekg((x.getId()-1)*sizeof(Person));
file.read(reinterpret_cast <char *>(&x),sizeof(Person));
cout<<x.getId()<<' '<<x.getFirstName()<<' '<<x.getLastName()<<' '<<x.getAge()<<endl;
}
