outputs an int when i want doubles

Why am i getting ints as the output I want doubles??? :evil:

I have no idea, but I'll admit that I didn't look very hard. Your code relies on files that I don't have, so proper testing is not possible. Why not strip the code down by hardcoding input values rather than reading them from a file? That way we can all see what results you're getting from a sample of the real input. Then surround the code with [ code ] and [ /code ] tags so that it's readable, and I'll put more effort into your answer.
