I have to use arrays to calculate some statistics on a set of data. The example of the file looks like this:
6 5
1 3 2 4 3
4 2 4 2 1
2 3 5 6 8
5 6 9 4 3
1 5 7 3 7
2 3 5 6 5
the 6 is the rows and 5 is the columns. I need to be able to calculate:
1. the min and max value for each row
2. the average value for each row
3. min and max foe the entire data
4. the average value of entire data

it is getting stuck in the min and max for eac row it prints the firs row correctly, but then it prints it again for the rest, instead of the correct value.
can anyone help

int a[];

Does this code compile.

The problem is given in terms of rows of data, you show it in rows and columns. Why aren't you using a 2D array to store the data? That makes it much easier to keep track of where you are.

The code you provided does not compile. It would be more readable with some indentation, and place it between and [/code ] tags.

Use meaningful variable names. x, y, z, k make it hard to follow your logic. In your rowMinMax you have a variable c which is actually a row counter. (and it does the same as d). But, it appears that function should do what it's supposed to. I think.

Val[code ] and [/code ] tags.

yes it does, but it does not give the min and max for each line
