So basically I need to recursively write a function in C++ that will go into a .txt file and do the following:

int readDictionary(istream &dictfile, string dict[]);

Places each string in dictfile into the array dict. Returns the number of words read into dict. This number should not be larger than MAXDICTWORDS since that is the size of the array.

MAXDICTWORDS is the maximum number of words in my words.txt file which is 3000.
