How can I get Highest, Lowest and Average ?

Mar 2nd, 2005

The assignment is to read and keep records and perform statistical analysis for a class of students.
This is what I have done so far,then the codes can show the information(Id,4quizes,exam) of each students on screen. But I need to show 3 more things (The Highest ,The Lowest,The Average of each quiz and exam ).
How can I get those ? I can't go ahead. Could anyone have an idea?

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

#include "Student.h"

int main()
{
Student stuArray[50];
int stuQuiz[4];
int i;
int numStudents = 0;
int idIn;
int quizIn[4];
int examIn;

ifstream inFile("page595data.txt");
if(!inFile.is_open())
{
cerr << "Could not open input file. Terminating program." << endl;
system("pause");
exit(100);
}

while(!inFile.eof())
{
inFile >> idIn;
for( i = 0; i < 4; i++)
inFile >> quizIn[i];
inFile >> examIn;
if(!inFile.eof())
{
stuArray[numStudents] = Student(idIn, quizIn, examIn);

numStudents++ ;
}
} // while

cout << setw(8) << "ID" << setw(8) << "Quiz 1" << setw(8) << "Quiz 2" ;
cout << setw(8) << "Quiz 3" << setw(8) << "Quiz 4" <<setw(8)<< "Exam" << endl ;
for(i=0; i < numStudents; i++)
stuArray[i].printStudent();

cout << setw(8) << "High" << endl;
cout << setw(8) << "Low" << endl;
cout << setw(8) << "Average" << endl;;
system("pause");
return 0;
} // main
--------------------------------------------------
class Student
{
private:
int id;
int quiz[4];
int exam;
public:
Student();
Student(int idIn,int quizIn[],int examIn);
void getStudent(int& idOut, int quizOut[], int& examOut);
void printStudent();

}; // Student
-----------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
#include "Student.h"
Student :: Student ()
{

}
Student :: Student(int idIn,int quizIn[],int examIn)
{
id = idIn ;
quiz[0] = quizIn [0];
quiz[1] = quizIn [1];
quiz[2] = quizIn [2];
quiz[3] = quizIn [3];
exam = examIn ;
}

void Student :: printStudent()
{
cout << setw(8) << id << setw(8) << quiz[3] << setw(8) << quiz[1] ;
cout << setw(8) << quiz[2] << setw(8) << quiz [3] << setw(8) << exam << endl;
}
It looks weird , but it worked so far.

To find the largest value in a list, save the first value and walk through the list, saving the largest:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
T largest = list[0];
for (int i = 1; i < list.size(); i++) {
  if (list[i] > largest)
    largest = list[i];
}
cout<<"The largest value is "<< largest <<endl;
T largest = list[0];
for (int i = 1; i < list.size(); i++) {
  if (list[i] > largest)
    largest = list[i];
}
cout<<"The largest value is "<< largest <<endl;

To find the smallest, just reverse the test:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
T smallest = list[0];
for (int i = 1; i < list.size(); i++) {
  if (list[i] < smallest)
    smallest = list[i];
}
cout<<"The smallest value is "<< smallest <<endl;
T smallest = list[0];
for (int i = 1; i < list.size(); i++) {
  if (list[i] < smallest)
    smallest = list[i];
}
cout<<"The smallest value is "<< smallest <<endl;

To find the average of all values in a list, sum them and then divide by how many items there were:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
T sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)
  sum += list[i];
cout<<"The average is "<< sum / list.size() <<endl;
T sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)
  sum += list[i];
cout<<"The average is "<< sum / list.size() <<endl;

Take a look at:

It might just give you an idea.

If your text file would look something like this

5405 011 011 000 078 010
6999 000 098 089 078 020

then you could read it into a list or array of structures with
the fields of Id Quiz1 Quiz2 Quiz3 Quiz4 Exam
using fscanf() or whatever ...

>But my queestion was little bit unclear.
Your question was clear enough, and the answer is the same. If it turns out that your question is actually how to read a text file so that you can easily store the results of each quiz in a list, that's a different story.
