5. Mary Conrad wants a program that allows her to save each letter of the alphabet and an associated word starting with the same letter of the alphabet on each line in a sequential access file
Example:
A apple
B button
She will enter the information from the keyboard. Assuming that the file name is alphabetChart.txt.
Write the corresponding C++ program.

This is my program

inputData.open(“alphabetChart.txt”, ios::in);
cout<<A Apple<<endl;

etc till

cout<<Z Zebra<<endl;

I not sure if I'm on the right track.

I believe you are right. The c equivalent is to use freopen("alphabetChart.txt", stdout);

Then when you type:
cout<<"A Apple"<<endl;

It will appear in the text

Thank you very much

No it won't appear in the tect.

After you open inputData, assuming it's an ofstream object, you'd do this:

inputData << "A apple"; // etc.
// Then we close the file when we're done to
// avoid memory leaks
inputData.close();

As you're saving to file, I'm not sure why you're calling your file stream inputData.

The obvious thing to do is open the output file.
Read the input in from std::cin, and write it to the output file.
That's what the requirements call for.

There is no reason to redirect stdout/std::cout.

File streams are closed automatically when they go out of scope.
