The point is to read a file and then display the information from a 2D array. Then find the highest value in each column and divide all the numbers in each column by the high value for that column. Then display the quotients (which I put back into the original 2D array and then reprinted it). Its all straight out with no functions. But well separated with comments. I can't get the file to read. That is my first problem, so I can't even continue to debug the rest. If it helps the file data is this:
1.267 0.167 0.250 2.670 1.000
3.240 0.376 0.375 3.400 1.128
7.564 0.668 0.500 4.303 1.270
5.041 1.043 0.625 5.313 1.410
4.660 1.502 0.750 7.650 1.693

Two problems (initailly).

First problem: You are expecting two integers in the first line of the file.
I modified your file to have 6 5 as the first line.

Second problem: You are reading double precision number into and integer array. Not good. So remove your
definition of num_array, and then add something like this line: double num_array [max_rows][max_cols]; and your program runs successfully to the print array loop.

Since you seem to have figured out how to test in parts (e.g. by putting a print statement in as soon as you have done something. You should be fine with the rest of the program. Just move you print loops, down each time. [or put the print into a function].

I entered in the 6 5 into the file and changed the 2D array to a double one. Thanks for that. I still cannot get it to run. It opens and just says hit enter to continue and closes. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

My guess then is that you are running underwindows. Just put
a std::cin>>i; at the end .

You could also put some simple output like: std::cout<<"number of rows =="<<num_row<<std::endl; and make sure it says SOMETHING!!!

[You might even want to put that before you start reading the file.

Where exactly should I put the std::cin>>i; ? Should I do it for row and col? Or just the declaration? I am using windows by the way, could you elaborate on how to use the std cin? Thank you so much for helping me.

Ok as far as I know [And I have never coded on a windows box], it often seems that
beginners have the problem that they run the program, it creates a window, then closes the window when the program ends. That is not how it happens on a unix/linux terminal.

This sounds sort of like how you described it, so I suggested the std::cin>>i; as a way to delaying the end of the program. It you put a std::cout<<"THIS is my program"<<std::endl; as the first line after int main() { and you don't see it, then you have the problem.

If that is the case, then add the std::cin after the print statement and see if you
can see the output. If you do, all is fine and you can add the std::cin at the last
line of the program. [This assumes that you have not exits before the last line in
main.]
