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.
:confused:

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;
}

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

The problem was you still had junk left in your input stream

Add this line:

Code:

---

  // output section

  while(getchar() != '\n');

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

---

Also you had a logic problem

Code:

---

  if (reading < minimum)
      minimum = reading;
  if (reading > maximum)
      maximum = reading;
