Anyone know how to accomplish this task on visual studio with C++?
Write a program that reads a series of numbers (doubles) from the user, then prints the mean and the
range.
Notes:
• You do not know ahead of time how many numbers will be in the list.
• When you want to stop entering numbers, enter control‐Z.
• The range is the difference between the lowest and the highest number.
• The numbers will be in the range of 0.0 to 100.0. Ignore any numbers outside of this range.

Yes. Do you? Hint: start out the program very simply and prompt for input. When that is done put that in a loop. Compile and correct all errors again. After that, add code to implement the rest of the requirements.

No. I definitely do not know how to do it. I will try my best with your given advice and post my results later. Thanks again Ancient Dragon!

That's why you are in school -- to learn how

Ok. I honestly have no idea where to begin. I seem to be having a mental block. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Start here
Re-read my previous post #2 and code one sentence at a time. Code the line that displays the prompt. Get that to work and compile, then code another line that asks for user input.
Have you read your textbook and done the example programs at the end of each chapter? If not, then you should do that.

Ok. I have been trying. I am unsure of how to prompt the user to give input without asking a question or entering a statement. This is the 17th assignment and I have been breezing through until now. Can someone please get me started so I can visually see what to do?

"to prompt" just smply means use cout to display the message
cout << "Enter something\n"; and to get input for a string. You need to STUDY YOUR TEXTBOOK for other variations of cin and cout. C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

There is no textbook. There are some readings online for class but they are no help. We are given these assignments and are not even taught how to do them. Like I said, I have been having no trouble at all until now. We were not taught how to take infinite values until the user enters ctrl-Z. I really am trying hard to do this. I am completely stumped.

What the hell
Are you doing this in some sort of school ? or learning c++ all on your own? I assumed you were in school, but maybe I was wrong.
What part(s) of the assignment don't you know how to do. cin or cout , or something else
I'm sorry, but we can't give you a complete course in c++. If you are on your own then I'd strongly suggest you spend some $$$ and buy a good c++ book that will teach you.
