Hi, I'm trying to write a console program that will sort and find the median of numbers that are given in a text file. The text file can have ints or doubles.

The problem I'm having is outputting the median and the insertionSort functions. I think that they are failing because I did something wrong with either the vector or templates or both as it is my first time writing code using both of those.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

template <typename T>
void median(const vector<T> & values) ;

template <typename T>
void insertionSort(ifstream& in_file, vector<T>& a_values);

template <typename T>
void fill_vector(ifstream& in_file, vector<T> & values) 
{

	T a_value;
	while (!in_file.eof()) 
	{
		in_file >> a_value;
		values.push_back(a_value);
	}
}
int main() 
{
	vector<double> values;
	char filename[16];
	cout << "Enter a file name: ";
	cin >> filename;
	cout << endl;

	ifstream fin(filename);
	if (!fin) 
	{
		cerr << "Could not open the file" << endl;
		return 1;
	}

	fill_vector(fin,values);
	cout << "Values entered: ";

	vector<double>::iterator p;
	for (p = values.begin(); p != values.end(); p++) 
	{
		cout << *p << ",";
	}
	cout << endl;


	cout << "Sorted values are: " << insertionSort << endl;
	cout << "Median = " << median << endl;

} //end main




template <typename T>
void insertionSort(vector<T>& values)
{
	
	int i, j, n = values.size(); //i is the pseudo-Code Index and j is the scanIndex
	T temp;
	// Select List[Index] as element to be inserted into sorted sublist.
	// place v[i] into the sublistv[0] ... v[i-1], 1 <= i < n,
	// so it is in the correct position
	for (i = 1; i < n; i++)
	{
		// index j scans down list from v[i] looking for correct position to locate temp assigns it to v[j]
		j = i;
		temp= values[ i];
		// find where to insert in the sorted sublistand shift elements to right while scanning
		//from right-to-left
		while ( j > 0 && target < values[ j-1 ])
		{
			// shift elements up list to make room for insertion
			values[ j ] = values[ j-1];
			j--;
		}
		// the location is found; insert temp
		values[j] = temp;
		
	}
}
template <typename T>
void median(const vector<T> & values)
{
	double product = 0;


	if( values.size % 2 )
	{
		product = values[values.size() / 2]
	}
	else
	{
		product = ( values[values.size() / 2- 1] + [values.size / 2] ) / 2;
	}

	cout << product << endl;
	return 0;
}

Your assumption is wrong. Your insertionSort and median are functions. You never call them. You just output their respective addresses.

I'm unsure what you mean, can you explain more?

First, explain me what, in your opinion happens at the lines 49 and 50 of your code:

cout << "Sorted values are: " << insertionSort << endl;
	cout << "Median = " << median << endl;

From what I've done before vectors and templates when you call the function using the name of the function I've declared. For example median. After i call it then it should execute and return the product.
