I had placed the wrong inFile:

My instructor said i could only use a FOR loop

I did a bit of fixing, still having the problem of the outFile only having info for Kennez. Any ideas welcomed...thanks and have a good day.

You sure do have a talent for going backwards.

All you had to do to my program from 2 weeks ago was change

while ( inFile >> stuname >> Test1 >> Test2 
                 >> Midterm >> Final >> Term )
  {
      /* the code in the loop */
  }

Into

for (int j=0; j<stunum; j++) {
      inFile >> stuname >> Test1 >> Test2 
             >> Midterm >> Final >> Term;
      /* the code in the loop */
  }
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;


int main () {
string Surname;
int Test1, Test2, MidTerm, Finals, Average,Term;
int c=0;;
ifstream myfile ("e:\example.txt");
ofstream fout ("e:\output.txt");
if (myfile.is_open())
{
while (!myfile.eof())
{
myfile>>Surname>>Test1>>Test2>>MidTerm>>Finals>>Term;
c++;
Average=Test1+Test2+MidTerm+Finals+Term;


if (Average>=90) fout<<c<<"  "<<Surname<<"   "<<Average<<"   A"<<endl;


if (Average>=80 && Average <90) fout<<c<<"  "<<Surname<<"   "<<Average<<"   B"<<endl;


if (Average>=70 && Average<80) fout<<c<<"  "<<Surname<<"   "<<Average<<"   C"<<endl;


if (Average<70) fout<<c<<"  "<<Surname<<"  "<<Average<<"   F"<<endl;



}
myfile.close();
fout.close();
}


else cout << "Unable to open file";


return 0;
}

// this should work

/*If you don't use {} after a control statement (for, while,

for (int j=0; j<stunum; j++)

Ptarila....thx for the help-but i have to use a FOR loop, i'm currently making modifications to my code and will see if i get it to work. thx a lot

I need a second pair of eyes please:

my Code:

#include<fstream>
#include<iomanip>
#include<string>
#include<iostream>
#include<cmath>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int stunum;//# of students in the class
	string stuname;// Name of the student
	float Test1;//score for test 1
	float Test2;//score for test 2
	float Midterm;//score for midterm
	float Final;//score for final
	float Term;//score for term project
	float Grade;
	float NumA=0;
	float NumB=0;
	float NumC=0;
	float NumF=0;
	float Avg1;
	float Avg2;
	float Avg3;
	float Avg4;

	ifstream inFile;
	ofstream outFile;

	inFile.open ("ClassData.dat");
	outFile.open ("ClassOutput");
	inFile>>stunum;//reads in the # of students in the class
	outFile<<"The # of students in the class:"<<stunum<<endl;
	
			for (int j=0; j<stunum; j++)
			{
			inFile>>stuname>>Test1>>Test2>>Midterm>>Final>>Term;
			
			
			Avg1=((Test1+Test2)/2*(.2));//Calculate average test score
			Avg2=(Midterm*(.25));//Calculate average midterm score
			Avg3=(Final*(.3));//calculate the final
			Avg4=(Term*(.25));
			Grade= Avg1+Avg2+Avg3+Avg4;

			{

				if(Grade>=90)
				{
				outFile<<setw(15)<<" A ";
				NumA++;
				}
				else if (Grade>=80)
				{
				outFile<<setw(15)<<" B ";
				NumB++;
				}
				else if (Grade>=70)
				{
				outFile<<setw(15)<<" C ";
				NumC++;
				}
				else if (Grade<70)
				{
				outFile<<setw(15)<<" F ";
				NumF++;
				}
			}
			
			outFile<<setw(10)<<"Name"<<setw(10)<<"Test1"<<setw(10)<<"Test2"<<setw(10)<<"Midterm"<<setw(10)<<"Final"<<setw(14)<<"Project"<<setw(14)<<"Total Grade"<<setw(14)<<"Letter Grade"<<endl;
			outFile<<"********************************************************************************************"<<endl;
			outFile<<setw(10)<<stuname<<setw(10)<<Test1<<setw(10)<<Test2<<setw(10)<<Midterm<<setw(10)<<Final<<setw(14)<<Term<<setw(14)<<Grade;
			}
			

				
				
			
			outFile<<endl<<endl;
			outFile<<"The # of A's: "<<NumA<<endl;
			outFile<<"The # of B's: "<<NumB<<endl;
			outFile<<"The # of C's: "<<NumC<<endl;
			outFile<<"The # of F's: "<<NumF<<endl;

		
	
	


inFile.close();
outFile.close();

	return 0;
}

Thks for all the help...

never mind- i got it figured out..thx a lot, i didn't see it until now. I see now that its logical it is because each time the program goes through the loop it's gonna print out the headers because it's part of the loop....thx for the tip...now i have a question not related to C++....can you delete a post after it's solved? Also, how long are threads/post stayed online? If you don't log into your account every so often, will it expire after a while? Thnx.
