The error I get is 'address of while(AreThereMore) will always evaluate to true.'

You need the ()'s when calling the function.

Also I see a couple of things in your AreThereMore() function:

If answer is not true, you need to set it to false. And when you compare you need to check each answer. Instead of

if (reply == 'Y'||'y') //this will always evaluate to true, I believe...because it is asking[I] if reply == 'Y' [/I]OR [I]if 'y'[/I]
{ 
answer=true; 
cin.ignore();
} 
else(reply== 'N'||'n');
{

You can say:

if (reply == 'Y'|| reply =='y')
{ 
answer=true; 
cin.ignore();
} 
else if(reply== 'N'|| reply =='n')
//or just put the else, without a comparison:
else{
//
}

I suspect you will have several more errors show up.

You were right. I did what you advised, and everything you said was correct. Thank you for the help.

It did not work for me the first time I tried your advice because I only changed the ONE prototype. But when I changed them all, it did.

do people jump down your throat

Not everyone. Mostly it's just one persistent mod.
lol

You should be able to write simple programs, and probably make errors while doing it.

I have that second part down pat.

Thank you both for the replies.

As I said...

Well, shoot. You're right.

(again) :icon_redface:

I think that they are similar, but IMHO it would be easier to learn one language first, get the basics down, and then concentrate on learning others. In my experience, quite a few of the more popular languages are similar, especially the basic concepts. It's mostly just the syntax that differs.

here we do not not give programs to people,

Ah, so you do give programs to people?

//just kidding...double negative there, lol

After compiling your code using my own input file I see the problem. You were adding the sum in the wrong place, which was after the last (unsuccessful) read from the file. It was adding a way huge number at the end, which made your calculations off.

I put a couple extra cout's in there to test. Remove them and this code should be what you want:

i = 0;
    fileIn >> scores[i];
    cout<<"scores[i]: "<<scores[i]<<endl;
    while (!fileIn.eof() && i < MAX_ARRAY)
    {
        sum+=scores[i];
        cout<<endl<<i<<": "<<sum<<endl;
        i++;
        fileIn >> scores[i];
        cout<<"scores[i]: "<<scores[i]<<endl;
			
    }
    numElms = i;

	cout << "\nAvg is: " << average(sum, numElms);

Yes you can.

Oops. Sorry. Thanks for the correction. :$

Hello.
I'm new here, too, but I have read the site rules. You're supposed to show an effort before the site's members will help you.

But the answer to your question is yes, there is code to solve that problem.

I'd get user input, put their numbers into an array and then check each number in the array. Or you could use a vector, I guess.

What code have you written so far?
