[Question] Opening and writing to a file

[toko]

i was wondering whenever you create a file in c++ where does it go cuz i've never seen anyone specify the root..

Tell me what compiler you are using.

Depends on the operating system. MS-Windows/MS-DOS (and probably *nix) if you don't specify otherwise the file will go in the current working directory where the program was started. If you use MS-Windows use Windows Explorer to search your program's source code directory and you will probably find it there. Or use the search feature to locate it.

If you don't supply a full path when opening a file, a relative path is used. That depends on how your system deals with relative paths, but I'd wager that you're on a system that uses the current working directory.
