Thread: Input students score

But how can it determine whether the student is day or evening because I am reading from the 2 text files?

Which lines of code read from the file containing evening students?

This line for day: inFileDay
This line for evening: inFileEvening

Code:

inFileDay.open("studentsDay.txt"); 
  inFileEvening.open("studentsEvening.txt");
  outFile.open("report_regular.txt");

That is why I am having trouble for displaying the D or E for students because there are 2 text files as they will be output to report_regular.txt

No, those lines open the files. Which lines read from the file containing evening students.

ifstream inFileEvening? So how does this line let me put D or E.

Thankx, so do I declare the D or E as char so it is for example:

Code:

char de

I now need to find out the maximum and minimum average score from the student in both day and evening from the text files. I have done these but I think is wrong:

Code:

while (max==Average)
     {
     (count = 1; count <6; count++)
     max = larger(max,Average);
     }
     outFile<<studentdayId<<"  ";
     outFile<<surname<<", ";
     outFile<<givenname<<" ";
     outFile << max<<endl; 
     outFile<<"D ";
     outFile<<Average<<"  ";

while (min==Average)
     {
     (count = 1; count <6; count++)
     min = smaller(min,Average);
     }
     outFile<<studentdayId<<"  ";
     outFile<<surname<<", ";
     outFile<<givenname<<" ";
     outFile << min<<endl; 
     outFile<<"D ";
     outFile<<Average<<"  ";

Code:

while (max==Average)
 {
	 (count = 1; count <6; count++)
	 max = larger(max,Average);
 }

1) The statements inside the the while loop will only execute if max is equal to Average, so testing which is larger doesn't do anything--they are the same.

Code:

while (max==Average)
 {
	 (count = 1; count <6; count++)
	 max = larger(max,Average);
 }

2)That's not a legal C++ statment.

Code:

while (max==Average)
 {
	 (count = 1; count <6; count++)
	 max = larger(max,Average);
 }

3) Did you define a larger() function somewhere?

Do you mean declaring larger(max, Average)? I declare them as double for larger, max, Average.

I am trying to find the maximum and minimum average score from the student in both day and evening from the text files.
Now I want to find the maximum average from day then find the maximum from evening and then compare both to see which is larger. Is this the right approach? I does this code for finding the maximum and minimum from day but once I complie and run it didn't show anything:

Code:

while (!inFileDay.eof() )
    {
     int score1, score2, score3, score4, score5;
     int studentcounter;
     double AverageDay, AverageEvening, largest = 0;

     inFileDay>>score1>>score2>>score3>>score4>>score5;
     AverageDay=static_cast<double>(score1+score2+score3+score4+score5)/5.0;
     studentcounter++;
     {
      while (studentcounter<=23)
      {
            ++studentcounter;
            if (AverageDay > largest)
            AverageDay = largest;
            }
            outFile<<AverageDay<<endl;
            }
} 

while (!inFileEvening.eof() )
    {
     inFileEvening>>score1>>score2>>score3>>score4>>score5;
     AverageEvening=static_cast<double>(score1+score2+score3+score4+score5)/5.0;
     studentcounter++;
     {
      while (studentcounter<=23)
      {
            ++studentcounter;
            if (AverageEvening > largest)
            AverageEvening = largest;
            }
            outFile<<AverageEvening<<endl;
            }
}

 if (AverageDay > AverageEvening)
{
outFile << AverageDay <<endl;
else
outFile << AverageEvening <<endl;
}

Can somebody check this code as I need to output the maximum and minimum average score:

Code:

while (!inFileDay.eof() )
    {
     int score1, score2, score3, score4, score5;
     int studentcounter;
     double AverageDay, AverageEvening, largest = 0;

     inFileDay>>score1>>score2>>score3>>score4>>score5;
     AverageDay=static_cast<double>(score1+score2+score3+score4+score5)/5.0;
     studentcounter++;
     {
      while (studentcounter<=23)
      {
            ++studentcounter;
            if (AverageDay > largest)
            AverageDay = largest;
            }
            outFile<<AverageDay<<endl;
            }
} 

while (!inFileEvening.eof() )
    {
     inFileEvening>>score1>>score2>>score3>>score4>>score5;
     AverageEvening=static_cast<double>(score1+score2+score3+score4+score5)/5.0;
     studentcounter++;
     {
      while (studentcounter<=23)
      {
            ++studentcounter;
            if (AverageEvening > largest)
            AverageEvening = largest;
            }
            outFile<<AverageEvening<<endl;
            }
}

 if (AverageDay > AverageEvening)
{
outFile << AverageDay <<endl;
else
outFile << AverageEvening <<endl;
}
