OK can someone tell my why I keep getting error C2664 when I try to build my c++ code?

Its starting to tick me off here's the code.


#include %26lt;stdio.h%26gt;


#include %26lt;stdlib.h%26gt;


#include %26lt;math.h%26gt;





int main()


{


FILE *suture;





float batchnumber, temp, pressure, dwelltime;





/* Execute instructions to solve the problem. */





suture=fopen("suture.dat","r");





if ((suture=fopen(suture,"r"))==NULL)


{printf("Could not open %s.\n", suture); return EXIT_FAILURE;}





while (fscanf(suture,"%lf %lf %lf %lf", %26amp;batchnumber, %26amp;temp, %26amp;pressure, %26amp;dwelltime)==4)


printf("Batch %lf \nTemperature (C) %lf \nPressure(psi)\n Dwell Time %lf\n",


batchnumber, temp, pressure, dwelltime);





return EXIT_SUCCESS;


}





I have a data file named suture.dat that I'm trying to read from and simply have the data from that file display on the screen.


Please Help!!!

Hello,





The error C2664 involves an incorrect argument type for your second fopen call.





Your code of:


if ((suture=fopen(suture,"r"))==NULL)


{printf("Could not open %s.\n", suture); return EXIT_FAILURE;}





Should be this instead:





if (suture==NULL)


{printf("Could not open suture.dat\n"); return EXIT_FAILURE;}





Please note that I also changed the printf statement in addition to the contents of the if statement. You were trying to pass a FILE* as a string.





Hope this helps.
