Question number 2

### Programming Exercise

#### Instructions:
Type in the following program and compile it. Add comments to the top, including your names and the date.

**Important:** Change the file path in your program to match your text file. Remember that you have to put double backslashes ("\\") in your file path.

```cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream> // includes ifstream and ofstream
using namespace std;

int main() {
    int total = 0;
    int temp = 0;

    // declare a handle
    ifstream infile; // open only

    // Open the file
    infile.open("F:\\Towson Fall 2019\\testFile1.txt"); // <-- CHANGE THIS!
    // infile is associated with stuff

    // prime read
    infile >> temp;
    while (infile) {
        total = total + temp;
        infile >> temp;
    }

    cout << "The total of all records in the file is " << total << endl;

    return 0;
}
```

#### Questions:
1. Why did you have to put double slashes in your file path?
2. What kind of runtime error would you get if/when you mess up the file path?
3. Submit your code and a screenshot of the run on the next page.
   - Remember: Submit code, not a picture of code.
   - Remember: Submit only the window where the run occurs, not the whole screen.

#### Note:
- Ensure you modify the file path to match your system's directory structure.
- Compile and run the code in your development environment.
