Adding my values together

[sitestem]

Hi all,

I've made some code that reads a text file for a first name, a surname and a rating. The text file has multiple entries in, so here's where I bump into my problem. I want to add all the ratings together, but don't know how as I only seem to know how to get the rating for one entry.

Here's my code:

 
#include <iostream.h> 
#include <fstream.h>
int main()
{
    char first[80], second[80], rating[2];
    ifstream inFile("junk.txt", ios::in);
        while (inFile >> first >> second >> rating)
        cout << first << " " << second << endl;
    inFile.close();
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

Could anyone please suggest a way I could add all of the ratings together?

Thanks very much,
Mike

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

int main()
{
   char first[80], second[80];
   int rating, sum = 0;
   ifstream inFile("junk.txt", ios::in);

   while (inFile >> first >> second >> rating) {
      cout << first << " " << second << endl;
      sum += rating;
   }
   cout << "sum = " << sum << endl;

   inFile.close();
   cin.get();
   return 0;
}
