Find Longest and Shortest Line

Question

I want to make a program that reads a file line by line and find the Line with the most amount of characters and the Line with the least amount of characters (Longest and Shortest Line) and the line number they are on, I've been stuck on this for a while.

Answer 1

Perhaps if you post a link to your code here, people might be more eager to help on the particulars.

Answer 2

here is what I have so far

void Longest()
{
ifstream ptr;

ptr.open("philosophy.txt");

string line;

while (getline(ptr,line))
{
for(int i = 0; line[i] !=' '; i++)
{
Count++;
}

}

}

I also tried this

void Longest()
{
ifstream ptr;

int tmp;

ptr.open("philosophy.txt");

string line;

while (getline(ptr,line))
{
tmp=line.size();
cout<<tmp;

}

}

but they both dont output anything

Answer 3

okay after long research and getting some help from a friend I have gotten to this point but the output is incorrect

it outputs -2 as the shortest line and 0 as the number of characters on the line
