Reading An External Text File

Hi guys. I'm having a really hard time reading a text file. My teacher gave us an assignment and the code I wrote below should use the text file she gave us to read the input file (the name is input.txt) but when I run the code nothing comes up. It just says "C:\Users\Ibrahim Abukwaik\source\repos\Project 2\Debug\Project 2.exe (process 19264) exited with code 0.
Press any key to close this window . . ."


How do I make my code run? The program is successful so I didn't think there were any errors in the code but maybe I'm wrong...

Whether there are errors depends on what you want to achieve.

Note that fout and fin will use the same file "input.txt". I guess that you want "output.txt" for fout?

I suggest that you make some debug cout << ... just to see what happening while running the program.
