int main() {
    int sum = 0;

        cout << "Unable to open file";
        exit(1); // terminate with error
    }
    
    while (inFile >> x) {
        sum = sum + x;
    }

    cout << "Sum = " << sum << endl; 
    return 0;

Example 2: read text from file c++

#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

 ifstream myReadFile;
 myReadFile.open("text.txt");
 char output[100];
 if (myReadFile.is_open()) {
 while (!myReadFile.eof()) {


    myReadFile >> output;
    cout<<output;


 }
}
myReadFile.close();
return 0;
