Our datafile, radiohead.csv is courtesy of Chrissy Zlogar---thanks!


We want to read this file into an array of structs.

readRadioHead.cc



To customize your emacs, you can edit a file
call .emacs


My file is hopefully readable... look at:


more ~pconrad/.emacs



We compiled an early version of our program
that had just the opening comment, the struct
declaration, and a main like this one:

int main(void)
{


  return 0;
}

We call this kind of function a "stub".

It doesn't do anything, but it allows us to 
compile and check for syntax errors "early"
in the process.


If you get the error message:

> make readRadioHead
CC    -o readRadioHead readRadioHead.cc 
"readRadioHead.cc", line 38: Error: Taking address 
   of the bound function std::ios::eof() const.
1 Error(s) detected.
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `readRadioHead'
> 


This typically means that you forgot the ()
on a function call.

For example:
   wrong: if (!infile.eof)
   correct: if (!infile.eof())
