More on End-of-File Loops

•Keep in mind that the input stream can fail even though we haven’t reached the end of the file. •EOF-controlled loops are similar to sentinel-controlled loops in that the program doesn’t know in advance how many data items are to be input. •It is possible to use an EOF-controlled loop when we read from the standard input device via the cin stream instead of a data file.
