Hello all!!
Im a newbie when it comes to C++ and I am constructing a program that,
a. reads a file called weatherdata.txt, that contains the type of weather, number of years, then the average data for the months(i did three years)
b.The program displays the informations for the months in the form of asterisks(the values have been multiplied by 10 to get an accurate reading
c. I am supposed to get the average of the first two years as historical, then the last years average as the current average.
d. Then I am supposed to ask the user if they would like to change a value and which one
e. Lastly I reload the file
This is what I have so far,
#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<cstdlib>
#include<cmath>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
const int NUMBER_OF_MONTHS = 12;
void calculate_historical(int number_of_years);
void calculate_current(int number_of_years);
void get_total_average(double,double,string);
void graph();
void print_asterisks(double data_for_months, int numAsterisks);
void change_Value(double data_for_months, int number_of_years,double newvalue);
void reload_file();
double Totals[12];
double num1;
double newvalue;
string climphen;
int number_of_years(0);
double data_for_months(0);
string months[] = {"January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December"};
ifstream readWeather;
int main ()
{
readWeather.open("weatherdata.txt");
if (readWeather.fail())
{
cout << "Im Sorry, there was an error when attempting to open file. \n";
exit (1);
}
string climphen;
int number_of_years(0);
int data_for_months(0);
readWeather>>climphen;
readWeather>>number_of_years;
readWeather>>data_for_months;
cout<<"This program displays and calculates the historical and current data for the amount of ";
cout<<climphen<<" for "<<number_of_years<<" years.\r\n"<<"\n";
calculate_historical(number_of_years);
calculate_current(data_for_months);
// get_total_average(Totals[12] , data_for_months, climphen);
change_Value(data_for_months,number_of_years,newvalue);
readWeather.close();
return 0;
}

My Problem is getting the average, editing the data, and reloading it. I dont know how to do it. If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it.
