How do i read in arrays of numbers and streams, using c strings in c++?

Im writing a census program that requires me to use c string objects to read in three things, names(states), population, and area. What I dont know and cant find in my text book, at least in a clear way, is how to read numbers and names from a text file saved separately in my directory. My objects are being declared as ifstream and ofstream.

If you mean how to read them from the text file, ifstream and ofstream work just like any other stream, such as cin and cout:





ifstream read("census.txt")


string name


int population,area


read %26gt;%26gt; name


read %26gt;%26gt; population


read %26gt;%26gt; area
