C++

I'm trying to write it so it accepts input from either arg's,or if executed, prompt the user for 2 inputs. Right now it simply skips over the if ( argc ... )

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
   
    char input[20];
    char output[20];

    ifstream in( input );
    ofstream out( output );   
    in.clear();
    out.clear();

    if( argc != 3) {
        cout << "Enter input file: ";
        cin >> input;
        ifstream in( input );
        cout << "Enter output file: ";
        cin >> output;
        ofstream out( output );
    }

    else if( argc == 3) {
        ifstream in( argv[1] );
        ofstream out( argv[2] );
    }

}

else if( argc == 3) {

Every time I initialize or change a variable I use an assertion to confirm that it worked.

Learn how to code.

whats an arg?

A noise a pirate makes, or an argument.
Like foo.exe [input] [output]

I don't know which pirates you've been fornicating with, but they don't say ``arg.''

I bet we can't help the OP.

Of course we can't, it's against the rules.

I bet we can use unsubtle psychological tricks to persuade people to do our homework for us.

More like helping with homework wouldn't you say? Not like I posted write me this program kthnx.

You didn't even ask a question.

Try reading SICP.

A symmetric little polynomial you are I   know stores it.
