As this is homework, your instructor and textbook may have some specific 
things that you should already know and apply to solve this problem. I 
always start by creating a Short, Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), 
Example [1]. You might study these file I/O examples [2] and post your 
own SSCCE here for more comments and guidance.

Out of curiosity, what text are you using?
