I'm trying to make this program write file numbers.dat that's accomplished. I'm also trying to make it write all even numbers into the file and close the file. Then I'm trying to make it re open file and append all odd numbers 1-100 and finally close file.

But for some reason I CANNOT Get the output as I want. I know where the error lays I just can't seem to grasp how to fix it... I've commented as I went along and sought feedback from peers to no luck. I now come here in hopes of assistance.

the problem is within my loop I believe I just cant wrap my head around how to get a proper display.

Current Output shows: Numbers.Dat file name and type Within File Shows: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, 42, 56, 72, 90, 110, 132, 156, 182, 210, 240, 272, 306, 342, 380, 420, 462, 506, 552, 600, 650, 702, 756, 812, 870, 930, 992, 1056, 1122, 1190, 1260, 1332, 1406, 1482, 1560, 1640, 1722, 1806, 1892, 1980, 2070, 2162, 2256, 2352, 2450, 2550,

Clearly NOT 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,.,.,.Etc
