Question

a C++ which to print all of the words in the English language of a given length, with the length being supplied by the user.

it will prompt the user for positive, integer word length. It will continue to prompt the user until a positive, non-zero value is provided. Upon receiving a valid value, it will read an entire dictionary file, line by line, where each line has a single word (it is acceptable that some of the “words” contain spaces). For each word that is of the length entered by the user, your program will print the word to the screen. Before terminating, your program will print the total number of words found for the given length.

Consider using the istream& getline(istream&, string&) function to read in the words from the file. (Remember that when the end of the file is reached the function will evaluate to false).
Don’t forget that there is a member function on a string object which returns the size of a string.
