Write a statement that defines an ifstream object named inputFile and opens a file named "Friends. txt".

ifstream inputFile;

inputFile.open("Friends.txt");

Explanation:

Though, the programming language is not stated, questions like this are often from C++.

The first statement defines the ifstream object using the following syntax.

ifstream [object_name]

In this case, the object name is inputFile

So, the syntax becomes

ifstream inputFile;

The next line opens a file using the following syntax.

[object_name].open("Filename")

Here, object_name is inputFile and filename is Friends.txt

So, the open statement becomes

inputFile.open("Friends.txt")

(because i need 20 chars)
