Thread: Problems testing my program?

Hello;
I keep getting a erroe saying assertion debug failed. Why doesn't this give me the max and min, etc..?
When I enter name of input file: test1.dat
with data such as
11
12
13
14
15
and when it says the name of the ouput file: test1.out. I press enter and the error poops (I mean pops) up. Strange! Can anyone please explain why?

It should read something like 5 values ranging from 11 to 15 and its average.


BTW here is my code:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cassert>
#include <cfloat>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	cout << "This program computes the number, maximum, minimum, and\n"
			"average of an input list of numbers in one file,\n"
			"and places its results in another file.\n\n";

	// input section

	cout << "Enter the name of the input file: ";
	string inputFileName;
	getline(cin, inputFileName);

	ifstream inStream;
		inStream.open(inputFileName.data());
	assert(inStream.is_open());
	int count = 0;
	double reading,
		maximum = DBL_MIN,
		minimum = DBL_MAX,
		sum = 0.0;

	for(;;)
	{
		inStream >> reading;

		if(inStream.eof()) break;

		count++;
		sum += reading;
		if (reading < minimum)
			minimum = reading;
		if (reading > minimum)
			maximum = reading;
	}
	inStream.close();

	// output section

cout << "Enter the name of the oputput file: ";
	string outputFileName;
	getline(cin, outputFileName);

	ofstream outStream(outputFileName.data());
	assert(outStream.is_open());
	outStream << "\n--> There were " << count << " values.";

	if (count > 0)
		outStream << "\n\tranging from " << minimum
				  << " to " << maximum
				  << "\n\tand their average is " << sum / count
				  << endl;
	outStream.close();
	cout << "Processing complete.\n";
	return 0;
}

Problems testing my program?

I got it! I forgot to add the orginal data file pressure.dat.
Thanks anyways!
