I am supposed to create a function which receives the arrays as parameters and which searches for the student with the highest average of the 3 grades and return to main the location of the student in the array.
The 4 arrays are: Student number(9 digits) Math grade Science grade English grade
And finally, it's supposed to read the data from the file into the array.
File data is:
123456789
60
70
80
987654321
70
80
90
999888777
75
85
65
111222333
55
65
75
444555666
63
73
83
I need help with how to read the file data using the arrays and functions.
This is what I have so far:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;
int findHighest(int Mgrade[5], int Sgrade1[5], int Egrade[5], long Snumber[5]);
main()
{
int Mgrade[5], Sgrade[5], Egrade[5];
long Snumber[5];
char num_from_file;
ifstream infile;
char mystring[20];
int grade;
infile.open("testdata.txt", ios::in);
if (infile)
{
cout<<"File opened successfully\n";
{
do
{
infile.get(mystring,21); //(example from other program)
infile.ignore(80,'\n');// (what should go here instead)
infile>> grade;//(example from other program)
infile.ignore(80,'\n');// (what should go here instead)
if (infile.eof())
{
break;
}
cout<<mystring<<'\t'<<grade<<endl<<endl;
//cout<<'\t'<<num_from_file<<endl;
}
while(1);
}
}
else
{
cout<<"error opening file";
}
infile.close();
return 0;
}
