C++ fstream error

Question

I learning c++, started learning File Handling today. but getting a error when runinng this code

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream.h>

using namespace std;

    int main()
    {
        fstream file;
        file.open("test.txt",ios::in|ios::out)

        file.close();

        return 0;
    }

Gets error

Cannot open include file: 'fstream.h': No such file or directory

Whats Wrong?

Answer 1

Change your include to:

#include <fstream>

It is a standard library, and you are trying to point it to a non existing header file.

Answer 2

For standard C++ includes, don't use the .h extension:

#include <fstream>

Answer 3

I Changed it . but getting a other error now

missing ';' before identifier 'file'

Whats wrong now -.-

Answer 4

Missing semicolon:

 file.open("test.txt",ios::in|ios::out)

shoud be:

 file.open("test.txt",ios::in|ios::out);
