How to add up amount of data from an external file in C# (Stream Reader)
- by user2985995
I'm new to this site, and pretty new to programming, at the moment I'm trying to display a count amount for the users names on my donation list, and then I also want to have a sum to work out the total amount of money the donation list contains, If someone could help me with creating a way to add up amount of donors on the donations.txt file that would be great help, I have no idea where to start, but so far this is my coding:
string sName;
double dAmount;
string sTotalNames;
double dAmountTotal;
double dAmountAverage;
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("Donations.txt"))
{
while (sr.Peek() != -1)
{
sName = sr.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine(sName);
dAmount = Convert.ToDouble(sr.ReadLine());
Console.WriteLine(dAmount);
}
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to close");
Console.ReadKey();
}
