Thread: C newb really could use your help!

yes but still try to fix some errors by declaring some variables...is it difficult? :/

Code:

abcd.c:4: error: ‘num’ undeclared here (not in a function)
abcd.c:4: error: ‘exam’ undeclared here (not in a function)
abcd.c:25: error: ‘num’ undeclared here (not in a function)
abcd.c:25: error: ‘exam’ undeclared here (not in a function)
abcd.c:46: error: ‘num’ undeclared here (not in a function)
abcd.c: In function ‘averageofAverage’:
abcd.c:55: error: ‘averageofstudents’ undeclared (first use in this function)
abcd.c:55: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
abcd.c:55: error: for each function it appears in.)
abcd.c: In function ‘main’:
abcd.c:64: error: ‘EXAMSCORES’ undeclared (first use in this function)
abcd.c:65: error: ‘NUMBERofSTUDENTS’ undeclared (first use in this function)

got it?

also you can have many variables in one type...try this...
eg if you have

Code:

int a;
int b;
int c;
int d;

you can write simply:

Code:

int a,b,c,d;

better eh?

Code:

Here are the program requirements and what it should do.

Your program will read in a number of student grade records from a file (stdin), with each grade record including (potentially) multiple exam scores. So, for example, you might read data for 200 students that include scores for each of 4 different exams. The exact number of students and exams will be specified in a constants.h file that I will provide. For example, the constants.h file might look like

#define NUMBERofSTUDENTS 200
#define EXAMSCORES 4

Your program would then read the 800 exam scores and store them in a two-dimensional array, declared as

int scores [NUMBERofSTUDENTS][EXAMSCORES];

I don't care what variable name you use for your array. I used scores here, but that is up to you. However, you WILL need to use the names NUMBERofSTUDENTS and EXAMSCORES as those will be names I'll use in constants.h.

Here is what your program will do:


Calculate and print the "class" average for each set of exams (So, for our "example" of four exam scores for each student, you'd print 4 different class averages, one for each exam.)
Calculate and print the median exam score for each set of exams.
Print a histogram of the scores found for each set of exams.
Calculate and print the average of all exam scores for each student record (So, again for our example, the average of the 4 exams for each student.)
Calculate and print the average of the averages of the students (so the average for all 800 exam scores in our example.)
To do some of these things, you'll need to sort the individual (4?) exam scores, for example to find the median and to print the histogram. You can use the bubble sort function that I've written for class. You can even use the histogram function that I've written for class. Bear two things in mind, however, namely

Both the bubble and histogram function(s) are written to work on a single-dimension array. You'll have to determine how to pass a one-dimensional array for each group of exam scores.
You cannot change the order of the exam scores in any column of your two-dimensional array since that would have the effect of changing the scores (and averages) for each student. 
Luckily, each of those concerns can be addressed easily using techniques we'll discuss in class.

it is the same code you posted but i just putted the functions above. now,
for example there is an error (num undeclared) in the red mark. why? because it is a parameter...it must be declared inside the function that calls this function, main()! But, even if you declare this there will be again error cause you don' t call "averageStudent" from main()!!!!!!! think about this...you MUST call the functions...they do not work by themselves...

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "constants.h"

double averageStudent(int setOfGrades[num][exam])
{
	int i; 
	int j; 
	int total=0;
	double avg;
	int num;
	int exam;

	for (j=0; j<exam; j++)
	{
	total = total + setOfGrades[i][j]; 
	}
	
	avg = total/exam;
	
	return avg;
}



double averageExam (int setOfGrades[num][exam])
{
	int i; 
	int j; 
	int total=0;
	double avgExam;
	int num;
	int exam;

	for (i=0; i<num; i++) 
	{
	total=total + setOfGrades[i][j]; 
	}
	
	avgExam = total/num;

	return avgExam;
}



double averageofAverage (int averagesofstudents[num])
{
	int i;
	int total=0;
	double avgAvg;
	int num;

	for (i=0; i<num; i++)
	{
	total=total + averageofstudents[i];
	}
	
	avgAvg = total/num;

	return avgAvg;
}

int main()
{
	int classAverage;
	int median[EXAMSCORES];
	int score[NUMBERofSTUDENTS][EXAMSCORES];
	int i;
	int j;
	int studentaverage;
	int studentTotal = 0;
	int examtotal = 0;
	//double studentaverage[NUMBERofSTUDENTS];
	double examaverage[EXAMSCORES];
	double averagesAverage;
	
	
	for (i=0; i<NUMBERofSTUDENTS; i++) 
	{ 					
		for (j = 0; j < EXAMSCORES; j++) 
		{ 				
		scanf("%d", score[i][j]);
		}				
	} 
	
 
	
	for (i=0; i<EXAMSCORES; i++) 
	{ 					
		for (j = 0; j < NUMBERofSTUDENTS; j++) 
		{ 				
		printf("%d", score[i][j]);
		}				
	}					
	
	
	
	for (i=0;i<NUMBERofSTUDENTS;i++)
	{
		for(j=0; i<EXAMSCORES; j++)
		{
		studentTotal = studentTotal+(score[i][j]);
		
		}
		studentaverage= studentTotal/4;
		printf("Average for student %d", i);
		printf("is %.2f", studentaverage);
		studentTotal = 0;

	}
              
		
           
 	
	for (j=0;j<EXAMSCORES;j++)
	{
		for (i=0;i<NUMBERofSTUDENTS;i++)
		{
		examtotal = examtotal + score[i][j];
		}
		printf("Average for exam %d", j+1);
		printf("is %.2f", examtotal/NUMBERofSTUDENTS);	
		examtotal = 0;
	}

	 
	// averagesAverage =  averageofAverage (studentaverage[i]); 
	printf("The average of the students averages is %.2f\n", averagesAverage);

	return 0; /* end main */
}

have you tried to write a simply program to understand how to use functions ?

Yes but I'm very new to C programming and I do appreciate all of your help!

This is really giving me a hard time. What should I do with it?


averagesAverage = averageofAverage (studentaverage[i]);
printf("The average of the students averages is %.2f\n", averagesAverage);



gradesum.c: In function `main':
gradesum.c:87: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer
gradesum.c:87: called object is not a function

you should pass two things in the function...
first the array...eg int A[]
and second the array size.

and NOT pass the arguments like this: int A[SIZE] cause this is something like passing only the last element!

Code:

double averageofAverage (int averagesofstudents[num]) // (int averagesofstudents[], int size)
{
	int i;
	int total=0;
	double avgAvg;
	int num;

	for (i=0; i<num; i++)
	{
	total=total + averageofstudents[i];
	}
	
	avgAvg = total/num;

	return avgAvg;
}

and line 9 is?
