I need to write a program for class that calculates student averages and quiz averagages. It has to read a 2-dim array from a file that looks like this:
10 10 10
2 0 1
8 6 9
8 4 10
The four students are the rows and the three quizzes are the columns.
Then I have to change the 2-dim inout into 1-dim arrays to get this output.
My output needs to look like this:
Student Averages Quizzes
1 10.0 10 10 10
2 1.0 2 0 1
3 7.7 8 6 9
4 7.3 8 4 10
Quiz Averages = 7.0 5.0 7.5

So, this is what I have so far. I used the prototypes my insturctor gave us, but I don't know if I am calling them correctly in the main. Then after the main. I am processing the gerMatrix, compStuAvg, and compQuizAvg and I need to display my results using my displayData, but here I get epically lost. Can I get a push in the right direction? Do I need a loop in the main also to process my data? I feel quite lost. Thanks to anyone who takes a look. And don't be mean! I'm a beginner! :)

In DisplayData() you need a loop for(int i = 0; i < NUM_STU; i++) . Then within that loop diaply the loop counter followed by each array value

cout << i+1 << " " << student_avg[i] << " ";
for(int j = 0; j < NUM_QUIZ; j++)
   cout << matrix[i][j] << " ";
cout << '\n'; // move cursor to next line

Wow, thanks. I kinda feel dumb! Its what I was thinking-ish, but for some reason, I overthought it as usual, and started screwing up. Haha. I'll see what happens from here. Again, thanks!
