Question

I am trying to write a program in c++ that will read the text from a fle and count the number of times it reads the letter 'e' . My code now is not reading 'e' at all. I am not sure if I am close or not but any help would be greatly appreciated.

here is my code:

#include<iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int text;
    int count(0);
    fstream inputStream;
    inputStream.open("foo.txt");
    inputStream >>text;
         int i, score[20];
    char e;
    for (i=1;i<20;i++)
     {
      if (score[i]=='e')
    cout<<count++<<" ";
          else if (score[i]!='e')
    cout<<count<<" ";
    
}
return 0;
}

Explanation / Answer

Dear,

Here is the modified code:

#include<iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
char ch;
int count=0;
fstream inputStream;
inputStream.open("foo.txt");
//Validate whether file exists
if(!inputStream)
{
    cout<<"Cannot open " << "foo.txt"<<endl;
}
//process file
while(!inputStream.eof())
{
         inputStream.get(ch);
        if(ch== 'e')
            count++;
}

//Display 'e' count
    cout<<"Number of 'e' character's in file :"<<count<<" ";
return 0;
}
