hi

Write a c++ program, which uses File Input/Output and performs all of the following tasks;

a. reads 10 numbers {1; 2; 4.5; 2.5*10^10; -3; 0.5; 8*10^-10; -10;3.5} from one file.

b. reads another 5 numbers: {5*10^-6; 2; -7; 4.5; 5*10^5} from another file.

c. calculates the product of all 15 numbers and writes result to the screen and to a third file.

my code at the moment is:

 
int main(){ 
 
float r[10], prod; 
fstream file_in; 
 
file_in.open("C:\\Users\\Cookson\\Desktop\\file1.txt",ios::in); 
 
int i =0; 
while(!file_in.eof()) 
{ 
file_in >> r[i];
 cout<<r[i]<<endl; 
i++; 
} 
 
 
}

I have a file named: 'file1.txt' on my desktop, it has the first ten values in it (as above!).

When i compile and run the program, sure enough it reads the ten numbers into my array r[]. But instead of displaying ten numbers to the screen i get 11, I get an extra number that i don't want namely: 1.4013e-044!!

Why is this number appearing and for what reason??

help please.
