Hi friends, trying to pass an ifstream to a function expecting an ostream...Should this be a problem?
ifstream fleetin;
fleetin.open (filename);
read(fleetin);
//Error....
: cannot convert parameter 1 from 'std::ifstream' to 'std::ostream &'My parameter is declared as ostream&, or maybe i should just remove the '&', but thought it's a good practice to pass reference params
Jump to Post>>or maybe i should just remove the '&', but thought it's a good practice to pass reference params
Don't remove the & because open streams must be passed by reference.
oops! my bad, should be 'istream', not ostream...

Don't remove the & because open streams must be passed by reference.
