I'm currently on my final C++ project for the semester. My assignment is:
===================================================
Programming Assignment 6
Attached Files
File data.txt (0.628 KB)
File sample_dynamic_array.rtf (33.957 KB)
The attached text data file contains a list of numbers between 50 and 150. Create a program that reads those values into an array. Assume that you don't know how many values are in the list and perform the main steps outlined below:
read the file and count how many values there are
based on your count, create an array of the appropriate size using dynamic memory allocation (see attached RTF file for a simple example of creating an array dynamically) Note: you will have to close the file and open it again so that you can read from the beginning again using the statistics library, calculate the minimum, maximum, mean, median, standard deviation, and variance
write the results to another text file
==================================================
So far, I have the bulk of it done, however; I'm having one difficulty. I have set-up found my number of values in the array, made a dynamic memory allotment for my array, and populated it,however, I'm still getting a weird anwser. I'm assuming it may be due to either:
1. Pointers not done correctly
2. Improperly filling in my array.
I've spent a good couple of hours adjusting/trying different things and browsing the web, but I keep getting incorrect anwsers to my functions. I'll post my code below + spoiler the values from the data file, can anyone point me in the right direction or where I'm going wrong?
I'd super appreciate it if so.
Note:I've used the class/library for my functions on programs before so I know there's no error there, only going to post my main .cpp
# include <cmath>
# include <iostream>
# include "Support File.h"
# include <cstdlib>
# include <iomanip>
# include <fstream>
#include<cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
int n(0);
double temp,data[150],*my_array,min1;
//double *my_array;
ifstream fin("data.txt");
ofstream fout("output.txt");
if(fin. fail())
{
cerr<<"could not open input file data";
exit(1);
}
//counts # if values in data.txt
while(!fin.eof())
{
fin>>temp;
n=n+1;
}
cout<<n<<endl;
//makes a dynamic array of size N
my_array=new double [n];
//For loop to populate the array
for(int i=0;i<n;++i)
{
fin>>my_array[i];
}
//is that needed?
min1=minval(my_array,n);
fout<<min1<<endl;
//will continue likewise for rest of functions
fin.close();
fout.close();
system("pause");
return 0;
}Below are the #'s from my data file:
(I couldn't get spoiler tags to work so sorry for the long list ;p
