Difficulty analyzing text from a file
- by Nikko
I'm running into a rather amusing error with my output on this lab and I was wondering if any of you might be able to hint at where my problem lies.
The goal is find the high, low, average, sum of the record, and output original record.
I started with a rather basic program to solve for one record and when I achieved this I expanded the program to work with the entire text file. Initially the program would correctly output:
346 130 982 90 656 117 595 High# Low# Sum# Average#
When I expanded it to work for the entire record my output stopped working how I had wanted it to.
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 High: 0 Low: 0 Sum: 0 Average: 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 High: 0 Low: 0 Sum: 0 Average: 0
etc...
I cant quite figure out why my ifstream just completely stopped bothering to input the values from file.
I'll go take a walk and take another crack at it. If that doesn't work I'll be back here to check for any responses =)
Thank you!

sum += num;
if(num < low)

if(num > high)
high = num;
average = sum / numcount;
outData << num << '\t';
}
outData << "High: " << high << " " << "Low: " << low << " " << "Sum: " << sum << " " << "Average: " << average << endl;
