    C++ Program that reads numbers from a file and calculates the average of them

    https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9536644

    Here is my code and basically these are the steps.
    I feel like we have something good to work on but we keep getting errors. Literally any amount of help would be appreciated.

    a. Data to the program is input from a file of an unspecified length; that is, the program does not know in advance how many numbers are in the file.

    b. Save the output of the program in a file.

    c. Modify the function getNumber so that it reads a number from the input file (opened in the function main), outputs the number to the output file (opened in the function main), and sends
    the number read to the function main. Print only 10 numbers per line.

    d. Have the program find the sum and average of the numbers.

    e. Modify the function printResult so that it outputs the final results to the output file (opened in the function main). Other than outputting the appropriate counts, this new definition of the function printResult should also output the sum and average of the numbers.

    Re: C++ Program that reads numbers from a file and calculates the average of them

    Firstly, have a look at http://forums.codeguru.com/showthrea...ork-assignment

    From your code
    Code:
    	while ( getNumber (inFile, zeros, odds, evens)) {
    		for (counter = 1; counter <= N; counter++) {     //Step 3
    where is N initialised? and where is the function definiton for this version of getNumber with 4 arguments?

    We initialized N in the int main() function and I'm pretty sure the getNumber is in the our while statement.

    Re: C++ Program that reads numbers from a file and calculates the average of them

    Code:
    int N;
    you are defining here N to be of type int, but you aren't initialising (ie assigning a number) it.

    Code:
    while ( getNumber (inFile, zeros, odds, evens)) {
    but in the code you provided, there is no definiton of this getNumber function - only for getNumber(int).

    Alright, so we got in contact with our professor and changed it up a little. Our only problem now is that one of the brackets is underlined red. Thank you again for your help.

    Re: C++ Program that reads numbers from a file and calculates the average of them

    Our only problem now is that one of the brackets is underlined red.
    And your closing bracket for main() is where? If you formatted your code with usual indents it is much easier to read and to see the matching opening and closing brackets.

    You also have some other issues. Some functions have num as the argument but you are using number in the body. Also you have
    Code:
    getNumber(number, inFile);
    but again you have not provided a function definition for a function that has these type of arguments - just a forward declaration.

    Re: C++ Program that reads numbers from a file and calculates the average of them

    Yeah that was a mistake on our bad and with the closing bracket for in main()
    I changed all the nums to number.
    Also in line 77 we defined getNumber, is that the wrong place to define it?

    Re: C++ Program that reads numbers from a file and calculates the average of them

    Line 77 is
    Code:
    	getNumber(number, inFile);
    This is not a definition. This is where you are calling the getNumber function - but there is no definition of the function in the code posted..

    Re: C++ Program that reads numbers from a file and calculates the average of them

    Alright so we worked on the code a little further and it does not have any trouble pulling the numbers from the file.
    My only question now is if you could give us a hand with the outputs. When I try and debug the program it just tells me to press any key to continue.

    Re: C++ Program that reads numbers from a file and calculates the average of them

    As zerocount, oddcount and evencount are set to 0 as part of the definition, you don't need initialize().

    When you open the file, you are not testing to make sure the file is opened. You can either use the .is_open() method (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/f...tream/is_open/) or test the stream using .good() method.

    For output, you will need to open the required file for output (as in your code in post #7) and test that the file has been opened OK. Then you'll need to code the writeNumber() function and call it after the end of the while loop in main() and after you have calculated the average. I'm not sure why you are outputting a newline to outFile for every ten numbers read?

    You seem to be coding this program 'on the hoof' as it were without having thought about how it is going to work first. Before starting to code a program, it is good practice to design the program first and then code the program from the design. The design expresses in simple English (or other natural language) how the program is going to accomplish its' objectives. eg A design for writing a program could be
    Code:
    determine inputs
    determine outputs
    determine any algorithms required (eg for finding average)
    do {
         design program
         code program
         test program
         debug program
    }  while program_not_working
