oops

im trying to take a pgm file and apply a filter to it and output another pgm file with the filter in place

however after i run it, the new file wont open because it says that its corrupted idk why

these are my three functions and i have a main if they would be needed

bool readBinaryPGM(const string& filename, vector<unsigned char>& image, int& width, int& height);

bool writeBinaryPGM(const string& filename, const vector<unsigned char>& image, int width, int height);

void applyMedianFilter(const vector<unsigned char>& input, vector<unsigned char>& output, int width, int height);```

i just realized i posted in the wrong thread im sorry!
