Storing output in a text file

Let's suppose I want to append 5 numbers in a file called numbers.txt
It's running the program; however, it never creates the file numbers.txt; therefore it always displays "file could not be created". Am i missing something?

Code:

---

// ch 9.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
        int numbers[5] = {0};
        ofstream numberSequence;

        for (int x = 0; x < 5; x++)
        {
                cout << "enter digit " << endl;
                cin >> numbers[x];
       
        }

        cout << endl <<  "These number will be stores in a file:"  <<endl;
        numberSequence.open("numbers", ios ::app);

        if (!numberSequence.is_open())
        {
                for (int p = 0; p < 5; p ++)
                {
                        cout << endl << numbers[p] << endl;
                        numberSequence << numbers[p] << '#' << endl;
                }
        }

        else
                cout << "file could not be created" << endl;

        system("pause");
        return 0;

}

Your if condition is wrong. Read carefully what it's saying.

Never compare the boolean values with true. Nor with false.

Code:

---

if( numberSequence.is_open() )
{
      //  file was opened!
}
...
if( !numberSequence.is_open() )
{
      //  file open faled!
}
