The following program reads a specified file that contains a list of numbers. The program then prints:
Sum, sum of the sqaures
Mean, mean of the squares
Standard Deviation
A table of every number in the file with its difference from the mean and the quantity.
A second table printing how many of the numbers are within 1 S.D from the mean, between 1 and 2 S.Ds from the mean, 2 and 3 S.Ds from the mean and more than 3 S.Ds from the mean.
My problem is that when I have more than 12 values in my .txt file the program prints garbage/lots of random numbers where they shouldn't be etc. Could someone please tell me what is wrong with my code or give me some tips as to where I am going wrong?
My code is below (note: I have put several for loops instead of one in the STANDARD DEVIATION FROM THE MEAN FUNCTION as I was having problems seeing in the output which values belonged to which for loop. I am also having problems with this as I need to count the number of values not show the values. Hope everything makes sense and sorry if my code is messy as I am still learning)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
//calculates standard deviation from the mean
//x[] = number array, a = Mean, b = Standard Deviation, n = limit
float count(float x[], float a, float b, int n);
