Re: [Dev-C++] feof question

[BoB S. <squ...@ya...>]

     I believe it is because C++ encounters the eof
marker AFTER it tries to read past the last item in
the file. Therefore you should be testing for the eof
after u read from the file each time rather than
before.  Correct me if im wrong anyone please.
