Convert/extract ints from a char array?

If you pack the struct (read up on packed attribute), you can rely on the order and that the members are non-aligned. Hence, you could read into a struct directly. However, I'm not sure about the portability of this solution.

You need to make sure that the byte order of the file matches the processor architecture you're running your code on. If, for instance, the integers are written to file with most significant byte first and your processor uses least significant byte first order, you're getting garbage for results.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
