You have used #include two times but you did not specify any file.
Remove these "#include" lines. And type there #include <fstream.h>.
I hope this works.
GOOD LUCK.

You are trying to open an input file which means the open will fail if the file does not exist, it does not create it. Take a look at the documentation for ifstream[^], and ofstream while you are there.
