Basically, I want to have the user input four names and four grades into a text file (2 columns); just for example:
Mary 98
Mike 60
John 78
Beth 89
I want to be able to read the file (presumably with fscanf) and display the highest/lowest grades, and the average of them. So I would need to create variables for all the inputs, right? In class today, we learned about structures, so I'm assuming one might need to be implemented. I have no actually useful code, but here's the start of it:
.
.
.
int main()
{
int i;
FILE *Fpointer;
char input[100];
int input2[4];
Fpointer = fopen("file.txt", "w");
for(i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
printf("Enter a name>");
scanf("%s", input);
printf("Enter a grade>");
// User Josh Bressers told me to change the below %d to %s
scanf("%s", input2);
// And the second %d to %s here
// The program prints 4 names and 4 numbers perfectly now
fprintf(Fpointer, "%s %s", input, input2);
fprintf(Fpointer, "\n");
}
fclose(Fpointer);
return 0;
}
Now that the program takes the user's input of four names and numbers, how would I read the numbers and do the calculations listed in the first paragraph? Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
TP
