problem with file reading

[margeaux54]

I have a problem that ı could not understand.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;


struct record
{
char name [20];
double ave;
};

int main(void)
{
int x,y;


struct record array1[3];
struct record array2[3];
FILE *a;
a=fopen("in.txt","r");

for (int i=0;i<3;i++)
{
fscanf(a," %d",&y);

array1[i].ave=(x+y)/2.0;
cout << y <<endl;
}





system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

First of all what are you trying to do ?Is this written by or someone else ?Just state your issue

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;


struct record //definition of a type 'record'
{
char name [20]; //declaring an array of char(a string) twenty characters long
double ave; //and a double precision variable
};

int main(void)
{
int x,y;  //two variables of integral type


struct record array1[3];  
struct record array2[3]; //two arrays containing three objects of type 'record' (defined upper') 
FILE *a; //'a' is a file pointer 
a=fopen("in.txt","r"); //here it gets associated with "in.txt" with read acces "r"

for (int i=0;i<3;i++) //sets a loop that will execute the following statements for three times 
{
fscanf(a," %d",&y); //read a value of decimal type ('%d') from the file associated to 'a' , into the variable 'y',
		     // where 'y' is passed by reference ('&') meaning it's value will change when the function exists

array1[i].ave=(x+y)/2.0; //assigns to each 'ave' contained by each object of type 'record' from the array1 array ,
			  // the value of (x+y)/2 ('note that x is not defined which it should be')
cout << y <<endl; //print the value of 'y'
}





system("PAUSE"); //'pause' is an ms-dos command from the windows virtual dos machine 
		   just open a command prompt and type "pause /?|more" for more information
return 0;
}
