c++ compiler error cannot access private member declared in class 'std::basic_ios<_Elem,_Traits>'

Question

Hey Im getting an error I think has to do with copying ofstream variable from reading other posts and Ive tried to change

std::ofstream outfil;

Answer 1

You are declaring outfil as a reference to an object of type std::ofstream with the following line in main:

std::ofstream & outfil;

References must be initialized upon declaration. Your solution is to declare outfil as:

std::ofstream outfil;
