fstreams

I am trying to write a program to practice for an upcoming test that is supposed to take in these names and numbers from a file and then take the average of all the numbers of the file. I am not allowed to use getline. Our teacher hinted that you can use cin to stuff 2 things on one line like this;
int x, y;
cin >> x >> y;
but I'm not sure how that works.

The file (Sect51.dat) looks something like this:
Will 66
Matthew 85
Andy 97
Sarah 24
Rachel 76
Mandy 94

This is what I have so far, but it is not working.

Code:

---

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
        ifstream WOW;
        WOW.open("Sect51.dat");
        string x;
        int y, aNumber;
        int count = 0;
        while (WOW >> aNumber)
        {
                cin >> x >> y;
                count++;
                y += y;
               
        }
        cout << "The average is " << y / count << "." << endl;
        return 0;
}

So, every loop you try to read (1) aNumber, (2) x, and (3) y. But ... there's not three things on each line. So don't try to read aNumber.

Also, you're using cin, but that's for console input. Use your ifstream for file input.

And pay attention to the values y will have as the loop progresses.
