Getting random characters as output for c++ program in sublime text

Question

I am getting random characters as output.

Here is my sublime build code:

{
  "cmd" : ["g++ -std=c++14 $file_name -o $file_base_name && ./$file_base_name < inputf.in > outputf.in"], 
  "selector" : "source.c, source.c++",
  "shell": true,
  "working_dir" : "$file_path"
}

Can anyone help me out resolving this?

Those are not random values, but the hexadecimal forms of the characters in "Hello World". — Passerby, Dec 22 '21 at 09:35
Your program has output the text as expected you've just opened the text in a hex view — Alan Birtles, Dec 22 '21 at 10:03

Your program has written the hexadecimal ASCII codes of the string "Hello World!" into a binary file. That's why you are seeing the hexadecimal format in the editor.

For example, 48 for 'H', 65 for 'e', 6C for 'l', etc.

Take a look at the ASCII table.
