Why is printing garbage?

fstream file; file.open("hassan.txt",ios::out); if (!file) { cout << "file not opened succesfully" << endl; } int b=98; file << b; string a; file >> a; cout << a; return 0;

you are using C way of doing, which is incorrect in C++ Change : !file With : !file.is_open()

seems logical, you entered an int, then read a string. If you want to cast the int to string, either use atoi function (C method, optimized but not generic) or use ostringstream like that : #include <sstream> #include <string> ... osstringstream oss; int a = 100; std::string s; oss << a; s = oss.str();

You read from a file when it was opened in write only

No, in sololearn it is because the file do not exist On your visual studio, it is because you need to add : file.seekg(0,ios::beg); Between writing and reading

yes it is ok if I open it just once and use the flags like ios::in|ios::out error occurs (in sololearn file is not opening in visual studio file opens but there is output problem) it means that we should not use ios:: out while oopening if we r reading from file???
