Hello,
I am trying to convert this C code to C++. The original code is further down this page. From the changes that I have made till now, the code should work but i keep on getting errors. I am using gcc in ubuntu to compile it.
Thanks in advance for your time.

btree_main.cc: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
btree_main.cc:28: error: invalid operands of types ‘int’ and ‘<unresolved overloaded function type>’ to binary ‘operator<<’

line 26: The value of argc will not be less than 1. The first argument to the program is the name of the program itself (on most operating systems).

line 27 and 28: What are you trying to do there? cout knows nothing about %d format string. You need to study how to use cout before continuing with that program.

Hello,
I was a little careless when i posted the code. This is the original code. as you can see it does not use cout.

So rewrite it then.

What you have at the moment is C/C++ road-kill.

If you really want to make a good C++ program out of this, then you would be using std::string in place of all those char arrays, and std::iostream for all the file I/O.
