Hello !

How i can find the smallest number, higher than average value. For example in deque I have these numbers: 46 84 25 93 91 25 37 32 64 49 17 81 59 38 79 22 57 17 61 11 (transferred from file Stack.txt to deque.txt). Тhe average of these numbers is 49.4, and the smallest number greater than this value should be 57. I should find it without using arrays.

Тhis is my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <stdio.h>

using namespace std; 

int temp;
int br = 1;

struct delem

    int key;

    delem *p;      
    p = l;           
    l = new delem;     
    l->key = n; 
    l->next = p;             
    if (r == NULL) 
    {

        r = l;
    }

}

So you have several problems ...

/*
1) using the C++ library deque (FIFO) container to the hold the int's input from file
2) using pop / push onto a 2nd deque ...  get sum/size to get average
3) start with setting the 1st int in the new deque as the x value.
   if the next val is greater than the average and less than that previous x value, update x
    when you have emptied the deque you will have the desired x value;
4) when you get all the above debugged and working ok, code you own class Deque 
    (if you must) 
    and use that in the place of the C++ library deque you developed with above.
    */

3) start with setting the 1st int in the new deque as the x value. If the next val is greater than the average and less than that previous x value, update x ... when you have emptied the deque you will have the desired x value;

The above idea was missing some things here ...

You need to firstly go though the container and select, as a comparator, the first element that was greater than the average ... then the above idea is valid.

Also ... you can traverse a deque with iterators.

See below ...
(an example of how this could be coded using the C++ library deque.)

// findNextNumAfterAvg.cpp //

/*
    How i can find the smallest number, higher than average value.

    For example in deque I have these numbers:
    46 84 25 93 91 25 37 32 64 49 17 81 59 38 79 22 57 17 61 11
    (transferred from file Stack.txt to deque.txt).

    The average of these numbers is 49.4,
    and the smallest number greater than this value should be 57.
    I should find it without using arrays.

    }

    cout << "\nPress 'Enter' to continue/exit ... " << flush;
    cin.get();
}

But note that since your spec's were only that ...

I should find it without using arrays.

You could have use a list constainer ... which is what you seemed to have been coding in a ...'roll your own version' ... of the C++ library list container. Note also that you could replace everywhere above deque with list and the code will compile and run with correct output. (Try it and see?)

David W, thank you for helping, but i need to do it without using STL. I found the higher value less than the average value, which is 49. Now i need to find smallest number, higher than average.

Here is the updated code:

Oops, i have a mistake:

while (l->next->key < avg)
should be:
while (l->key < avg)

Did you notice the steps I took to get a solution?

Firstly using the C++ library container to solve the problem at hand.

Then, if you need to code your own 'home-grown' List container ... (a single-link linked list is what you looked to be coding) ... that is a SEPARATE problem.

And when that List is working ok ... just plug-in that List.

See below:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <climits>

using namespace std; 

const char* FNAME = "numbers.txt";

struct Node
{
    int key;
    Node *next;

    // ctor...
    Node( int key=0, Node* next = 0 ) : key(key), next(next) {}
} ;

struct List
{
    Node* head;
    Node* tail;
    int len;

    // ctor...
    List( Node* head=0, Node* tail=0 ) :  head(head), tail(tail), len(0) {}
    // detor...
    ~List() { clear();   }

    void clear()
    {
        while( head != 0 )
        {
            Node* cur = head;
            head = head->next;
            delete cur;
        }
        tail = 0;
        len = 0;
    }

    int size() const { return len; }

    void push_front( int key )
    {

    }

        Node* old_tail = tail;
        tail = new Node( key );
        if( len ) old_tail->next = tail;
        else head = tail;

        ++ len;
    }

    int pop_front()

And just to round out this demo ...
the edits needed to go to a template class
are fairly straight forward
once you have some code working ok for the class List (or struct List) with just an int data type;

Take a look:
