i need help for my school project in it. the function of the program is like a calculator that computes mean, median, mode, range, percentile, & standard deviation. and i dont know how to compute for mode, standard deviation and percentile. please they gave us dev c++ for out it subject in our senior year in highschool.

#include <math.h>

The mode average is the value that comes up most frequently. Get all the values, look at each one in turn, and count up how many of each there are.

Where do you input your data?
Do they come from a file? a database? Manual input?
btw It doesn't make much sense to calculate percentiles if your data size is less than 20 samples.

Your program logic flow could be simplified by using several functions ... one function to do each 'job'.

Then you can simply call those functions in sequence.

A common way to get your data is to read it from a file.

Suppose the file held the height (inches) and weight (pounds) of a large number of people for you to process,

Suppose also that the file data was structured as follows:

// file name: HeightWeight.txt
60.5 205.5
56.25 153.5
// ... etc

Now, you could read all this data into an array ...
(with the max array size pre-fixed, at compile time, to be large-enough) ..

i.e. an array of C struct

using something like this:

typedef struct
{
   float height;
   float weight; 

} HeightWeight;

int fillFromFile( const char fname[], HeightWeight ary[], unsigned max_ary_size )
{
   FILE* fin = fopen( fname, "r" );
   int size = 0;
   if( fin )
   {
      while( size < max_ary_size && fscanf( fin, "%f %f", &ary[size].height, &ary[size].weight ) == 2 ) ++ size;

     fclose( fin );
     return size;
   }
   else return -1; /* to 'flag' file open error */
}

Now in main, you would do something like this:

int size = fillFromFile( "HeightWeight.txt", ary, 100 );
if( size )
{
   /* process the array of data  */
}
else printf( "No data read ... check file name ok\n" );

Your program logic flow could be made clearer by using individual functions for each 'job' ...

A common way to get your data is to read it from a file.

Suppose the file held the height (inches) and weight (pounds) of a large number of people for you to process.

Suppose also that the file data was structured as follows:

// file name: HeightWeight.txt

{
   FILE* fin = fopen( fname, "r" );
   int size = 0;
   if( fin )
   {
      while( size < max_ary_size && fscanf( fin, "%f %f", &ary[size].height, &ary[size].weight ) == 2 ) ++ size;

     fclose( fin );
     return size;
   }
   else return -1; /* to 'flag' file open error */
}

Now in main, you would do something like this:

HeightWeight ary[100]; /* get space for 100 records */
int size = fillFromFile( "HeightWeight.txt", ary, 100 );
if( size != -1 )
{
   /* process the array of data  */
}
else printf( "No data read ... check file name ok\n" );

As you process your data, you could call (a) function(s) that find and return the values you seek. perhaps returning a struct that holds all those calculated values ...

typedef struct
{
   float min;
   float max;
   float mean;
   float mode;
   float stdDev;

} MyStats ;

If you return a struct like this, after all processing done, then you can easily report the 'stats' ...

Or ...you could return a struct like this, after all processing done, to easily report the 'stats' for BOTH of height and weight ...

(You could store weight stat's using index 0, and height stat's using index 1)

typedef struct
{
   float min[2];
   float max[2];
   float mean[2];
   float mode[2];
   float stdDev[2];

} MyStats ;
