    }
    printf("sum is %d\n", sum_grades);

    fclose(ifp);
	return 0;
}

its a program designed to print out the student's ID's and grades as they appear in the file, print the highest grade, the mean value and print the student's ID's in increasing order

INPUT FILE

3050 76
2030 60
1600 70
2222 50
2430 60
2800 50

-------------------
1st part of the program its supposed to stop at the value ("0 0"). so it should print
3050 76
2030 60
1600 70
2222 50
2430 60
2800 50
but ("0 0") is being included, which affects my mean value as well. also how how do u implement the sorting algorithm for printing the ID's in increasing order which correspond to the grades

help would be appreciated

Lines 66 and 81, you're examining the WHOLE array, not the number of valid entries entered.

If you had a separate variable which you increment ONLY when the data is valid, you would know when to stop.

explain im not following what u are saying

for ( i = 0 ; i < N ; i++ ) {
  // read data
  // if condition, break
}

If N is 10, and you exit after 2 entries, how much data should you read?

for ( i = 0 ; i < N ; i++ )
// or
for ( i = 0 ; i < 2 ; i++ )

When you understand that the 2nd answer is right, replace the 2 with a variable.
