How to calculate a mean value from a file. my txt file contains the following values( No floating point only integers). Assume that my data.txt file contains 100 numbers.
Input File name: Data.txt- Values 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Output
--------
Mean = 5.5
I m new to Files. can anybody help me to solve this?
Suppose that you used std::cin to read in input entered by the user in the same format as that of the file. What would you do?

No, i don't want to read from STDIN. have to read from a txt file. can you please help me? I m new to file operation.
After you show us how you read from standard input using std::cin (without interactive input, i.e., do not ask the user to re-enter if invalid input is detected, etc), we'll tell you how a slight change of your code can allow you to read from an input file stream.

I know simple file operations. fgetc () reads char by char. how can i calculate mean here?
ps:I don't want any input from user (STDIN)"
InsertCode:#include<stdio.h>? main() { int sum=0,mean=0; char ch; int number[10],i=0,count=0; char comma[10]; char buffer[100]; int got; FILE *fp1; clrscr(); fp1=fopen("c:\\TC\\BIN\\data.txt","r"); while((ch=fgetc(fp1))!=EOF) printf("%c",ch); getch(); } /*while(fgets(buffer,100,fp1)!=NULL) printf("%s",buffer);*/ /*{ got=sscanf(buffer,"%d %s",&number[i],&comma[i]); printf("Test: %d %d",number[i],got); i++; } */ /*while((ch=fgetc(fp1))!=EOF) { number[i]= if(!(ch==',')) printf("%c",ch); } */
Have you not learnt how to use std::cin and C++ I/O streams?

I want to solve this problem in C programming. i don't want to do in C++.
Moved to C programming forum.
For your purposes, fscanf() will probably be the easiest approach.

Do i need to post this again in C programming forum?
Suppose you show us how you'd read it from stdin, and then just change those same functions to be theif f-ing version? Because really, that's what you need to do. You make one function read all your data. You make another perform the work on it.
Quzah.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
I m not reading from a stdin. (i don't want to do as well). i have to read only from a Txt file which contains the above data.
I read about files. i really don't know how to read a comma separated integer value from a TXT file. if i can read this, i can easily calculate the mean
You're missing the point here. If you can do it with the same input, skipping the entire "file" aspect of it, then you can do it WITH the file aspect.
What part don't you know how to do anyway, other than indent?

you are right. i m not able to do with the sample input as well. if my input is 345, 23, 1, 78 then how should i do? can you please help me?
Do you know how format strings work in C? If you wanted to read an integer and a comma, for instance, you could use "%d," as that would read in an integer and then expect a comma. (Nothing bad will necessarily happen in this case if there's no comma -- if you had a bunch of them, and a comma was missing, it would stop there and not go on.) Now to do a 100 of them....
I tried, but its not working. Take for example if i read 44,55,66 from a keyboard then calculating mean. my problem is how to read these datas (i m able to read, how to split 44 55 & 66). can you please send me sample code ?
