Hello everyone,
My name is David and I am new to these forums as far as posting goes, but I have used alot of the advice given here in my programs. I have come across a problem though in my program that I cant seem to figure out why it is doing what it is doing!
What I am trying to do on this particular function is read through the structures I have listed in the fstream object, and when a part of the structure( .deleted) is false, it reads the (.agent fee and .purchase price) multiplies those together, and then after it loops through the entire file and finds all of the structures that are not deleted, gives a total of the fees divided by the number of files that were read that were not .deleted = true.
Sorry if this is confusing, and if I am doing this wrong, I am sorry, and please just ignore me!
Here is what I am having trouble with though, I have posted the code below. The loop I have seems to not read the .eof() and just continues to loop forever, instead of stopping the loop.
PROBLEM AREA: where I have the cout << I am here3, that is the part that continues to loop forever and never stops.... any help would be greatly appreciated.
double SummaryOfFees(){
int numberOfClients = 0;
double feeTotal = 0;
double feeTemp;
double summaryOfFee;
ClientInformation RecordToRead;
fstream realEstate("RealEstateList.txt", ios::in|ios::binary);
realEstate.read(reinterpret_cast<char *>(&RecordToRead), sizeof(ClientInformation));
while(!realEstate.eof()){
cout << "I am here!3" << endl; //just used for debugging
if(!RecordToRead.deleted){ //if file is not deleted, procede
numberOfClients++;
feeTemp =(RecordToRead.agentFee * RecordToRead.purchasePrice);
feeTotal = feeTotal + feeTemp;
}
}
realEstate.close();
summaryOfFee = (feeTotal / numberOfClients);
return summaryOfFee;
