Alright....this is a mess, but it works (compikes) correctly....how would I create a function (probably using "switch") to return a grade based on the averages found in CalculateAvg?

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

double CalculateAvg (ifstream& students, string studentid[60], string fname[60], string lname[60],
					int Q1[60], int Q2[60], int Q3[60], int MidTerm[60], int Q4[60], 
					int Q5[60], int Q6[60], int Final[60], int i);
double FindLargest(ifstream& students, string studentid[60], string fname[60], string lname[60], 
					 int Q1[60], int Q2[60], int Q3[60], int MidTerm[60], int Q4[60], int Q5[60], 
					 int Q6[60], int Final[60],int i);
char grade(double CalculateAvg (ifstream& students, string studentid[60], string fname[60], string lname[60], 
					 int Q1[60], int Q2[60], int Q3[60], int MidTerm[60], int Q4[60], int Q5[60],

You can't really use a switch statement based on averages. Its better to use a series of if statements so that you can gest ranges of values

if( average > 90)
   return 'A';
else if( average > 80 )
   return 'B';
// etc etc

pop in a variable to get that value for use in the subsequent function call

double avgstore;
..... Q6[i] << setw(8) << Final[i] << (avgstore = CalculateAvg (students, id, fname, lname, Q1, Q2, Q3, MidTerm, Q4, Q5, Q6, Final, i));
     cout <<calcGrade(avgstore);   (try it tacked onto the end of the first cout just in case, I wasn't sure if it would be evaluated in the right order)

same for out <<

You can call it whatever you want in the function, but yes I meant back in main keep an intermediate variable of your average function output and then feed that back into your grade function. I was just saying don't put them all on the same line because I'm not 100% sure if the grade function will be called before the other comes back with the value.

Yes, and your function should return a char. Sry was trying to make sure you got things in the right place in main()

How can I import them using the average1, average1a, average1b...etc from the previous function until I can clean it up?

would it be like this

char calcGrade(double average1&, double average1a&....)

Are you saying that the avgstore is found in the main program? So, I would decalre is as: double avgstore; , and then my function would be like this:

double calcGrade(double avgstore)
{
   if (avgstore > 90)
     cout << 'A';
   else if (avgstore > 80)
     cout << 'A'

 etc....
}

And I'm guessing that I messed up when saying "cout << 'A' " since the double function has to return a value...right?

Yes, all the stuff in the main works just as you said...thanks! I'm not sure how return a char in my double function....would I be better served turning the function into a "char calcGrade(avgstore)"?

jonsca 1,059 Quantitative Phrenologist Team Colleague Featured Poster · Answer 5 · 2009-12-04T21:14:39+00:00

yes and putting return 'A'; etc. within your statements

if (avgstore > 90)
    return 'A';
else if (avgstore >80)
    return 'B';
...
else
    return 'F';

if (avgstore > 90)
    return 'A';
else if (avgstore >80)
    return 'B';
...
else
    return 'F';

Ok....I got that working, but now it won't allow me to have some space between the numerical avg values, and the char grade. This is my output:

Enter name of file

StudentID    LastName    FirstName   Q1     Q2     Q3     Mid    Q4      Q5     Q6     Final    Avg.    Grade

37915        Wright      Michelle    98     83     56     62     63      90     57      67      67.8D
81984        Williams    Jenny       55     67     54     63     89      84     93      75      69.3D
73984        Phaneuf     Lesley      78     85     57     51     68      94     51      83      68.4D
80886        Laflamme    Nicole      76     51     71     94     69      78     87      91      77.4C
39473        Kenyon      Patricia    65     54     90     68     94      70     95      97      78.0C
Press any key to continue . . .

and this is the code:

cout << left << setw(13) << studentid[i] << setw(12) << fname[i] << setw(12) << lname[i] << setw(7)
					<< Q1[i] << setw(7) << Q2[i] << setw(7) << Q3[i] << setw(7) << MidTerm[i] << setw(8)
					<< Q4[i] << setw(7) << Q5[i] << setw(8) << Q6[i] << setw(8) << Final[i] << 
					(avgstore = CalculateAvg (students, id, fname, lname, Q1, Q2, Q3, MidTerm, Q4, Q5, Q6, Final, i)) <<
				    setw(12) << calcGrade(avgstore);

even with the "setw(12)" there are no spaces....

You don't have a setw call in front of your calculateaverage. It's possible your grade, since it is left biased is bumping up against the average. Otherwise you can pop a few spaces in between with <<" "<< along your cout chain
