I wrote a program executed it and it returned the expected output i goto modify it to work with multiple input files and now it returns garbage and crashes anyone have any idea?

-the output file is commented because i am not using it yet there are no references to it in the code that could cause issue

#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<string>
#include<iomanip>

using namespace std;

void calculationOutput(const char* inputFile);
ifstream inFile;
ofstream outFile;
char inputFile[11];


	

int main()
{
	calculationOutput("data01.dat");
	calculationOutput("data02.dat");

	return 0;

}
void calculationOutput(const char* inputFile)//, const string* outputfile)

We need your calculationOutput code and maybe a sample of the input and resultant garbage.

here is the input file
data01
20 24 32 35 40 50 50 45 40 35 30 25
30 38 40 45 50 60 60 55 45 40 35 32
60 60 55 50 45 40 40 40 45 50 55 60
45 45 40 30 25 20 15 20 25 30 40 45

data02
00 24 32 35 40 50 50 93 40 35 30 25
30 38 65 45 50 60 60 55 45 40 35 32
60 60 55 50 45 40 40 40 45 50 55 60
45 45 40 86 25 20 15 20 25 30 40 45
34 24 32 35 40 40 40 45 40 35 30 25

sample output
lines 138-142 was me testing a piece forgot to remove though shouldnt affect output

solved garbage output problem.

but refuses second file with a file does not exsist error?
