Help with taking input from a file

The following program should take the following input from this file and calculate the average for Q-Quizzes, P-Programming Assignments and also calculate the final percentage for each student. Somehow I cant get it to detect the two names and calculate correct averages and percentage.
This is the content of the input file
CPTR151‐01
000143 Doe John Q 10 5
000143 Doe John Q 10 7
000143 Doe John Q 10 9
000143 Doe John P 20 17
000143 Doe John P 20 15
000143 Doe John M 50 45
000143 Doe John F 50 40

991253 Dough Jane Q 10 6

991253 Dough Jane P 20 7

What problem are you having? Do you get a compiler error? Incorrect output?

Why are you getting the course name inside the while loop? It only appears once at the top of the file.

Last I checked, averages are not calculated by dividing the points by possible points. In order for you to do this assignment, grade point averages had to be explained. I remember when I did an assignment similar to this, ten quizzes equaled one quarter test, and the final counted twice, so you had to calculate something like:

( (q1 + q2 + q3 + q4 + q5 + q6 + q7 + q8 + q9 + q10) + (t1 + t2 + t4) + (final + final)) / 6.0

You left that specific information out, so I would look over the instructions again to figure out what you need to calculate.

And, if possible, work it out in a spreadsheet before you write the program. That helped me gain some clarity.

You are using eof to control your loop. This is problematic. You'll end up processing the last line from the file twice and the Student_id and New_id are not likely to be different so the last "person" in the file isn't going to have your nice summary output for them. I'd suggest a loop that looks more like:

Code:

---

getline(myfile,Course_Name);
while( myfile >> Student_id >> Lastname >> Firstname >> Assignment_Type >> Poss_Score >> Achieved_Score )
{
    // Do your calculations here

    // Do your summary output here
}
