Hi everyone, I've recently been having a problem with my current program. I've gotten it to work so that I can enter a word in and it will check the word to see whether or not it is a palindrome by methods of stack/queue.
eg. dad
"Dad is a palindrome"
Now I am trying to make is so that the program reads from a text file and outputs the results to another. I've read a little about fstream and understand somewhat how it works but am still having problems. I stopped modifying my program after the code below:
ifstream inside;
ofstream outside;
inside.open("palindromeinput.txt",ios::in);
outside.open("palindromeoutput.txt",ios::out);because this is where I became lost. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. I've posted the entire code below. It produces no errors but is still not reading any information placed in the text file (dad, pen)
Thanks an advance
