so I'm using the nfl stats below in my program. i have the program reading in the file fine. I will be doing three different analysis to these stats one will be adding all the yards of every team and converting them into miles, the other will just be adding all the passing yards from every team and reporting the sum, and the last analysis will be sorting out which number is the highest out of all the points for every team and reporting it.

I'm having trouble my value keeps coming up to 2750 when i add all the numbers in the yards array giving me an answer of 1.59144 when i know it's way more then that obviously! i will post the code hopefully someone will help me out! thanks.
