I want to be able to output the array below to a file, but i want to put some labels onto the array like this

the number pairs are array elements, as you guys can see, i would like to add the word HW, LAB, Best etc..into the array so i can output something similar to the example above to a text file, i've already calculated all the required variables,

what i've tried is cout << setw(4) << 1 << set(w) << 2 etc...to manually draw out the layout that i want, it looks ok, but how do i output everything to a text file? there has to be a better way of doing this yeah?

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "iostream"
#include "fstream"
#include "cmath"
#include "iomanip"
using namespace std;


int main()
{
	double grade [2][5];
	double averageLab = 0;
	double averageHw = 0;
	double totalLab = 0;
	double totalHw = 0;
	double bestLab = 0;
	double worseLab = 0;
	double bestHw = 0;
	double worseHw = 0;
	double averageClass = 0;

	

	ofstream out;
	out.open("temp.txt");


	for(int i = 0; i < 5; i ++)
	{

	cout << "please enter your grade percentage for your"<< i + 1<<" lab assignment" << endl;
	cin >> grade[0][i];
	}

	for(int j = 0; j < 5; j++)
	{
		cout << "please enter your grade percentage for your " << j + 1 << "hw assignment" << endl;
		cin >> grade[1][j];
	}

	for( int k = 0; k < 5 ; k++)
	{
		totalLab += grade[0][k];
		totalHw += grade[1][k];
		averageLab = totalLab / 5;
		averageHw = totalHw / 5;
		
		bestLab = grade[0][k];
		worseLab = grade[0][k];
		if(grade[0][k] > bestLab)
		{
			bestLab = grade[0][k];
		}
		else if(grade[0][k] < worseLab )
		{
			worseLab = grade[0][k];
		}
	}
	
	for(int y = 0; y < 5 ; y ++)
	{
		bestHw = grade[1][y];
		worseHw = grade[1][y];

		if(grade[1][y] > bestHw)
		{
			bestHw = grade[1][y];
		}
		else if(grade[1][y] < worseHw)
		{
			worseHw = grade[1][y];
		}
	}
	
	averageClass = (averageHw + averageLab) / 2;

	if(averageClass < 50.00)
	{
		cout <<" your average for the class is : " << averageClass << endl;
		cout << " you didnt pass the class because your average is less than 50%" << endl;
	}
	else
	{
		cout <<"your average for the class is : " << averageClass << endl;
		cout << "congratulation you passed the class" << endl;
	}


	cout <<"Best Lab = " << bestLab << endl;
	cout <<"Worse Lab = " <<worseLab << endl;
	cout <<"best Hw = "<< bestHw << endl;
	cout <<"Worse Hw = " << worseHw <<endl;




	

	system("PAUSE");

What have you tried. Outputting text to a text file is basically the same as outputting text to the screen. The only difference is the stream you are using.

This isn't directly related to what you're trying to do, but it will make it and everything else you will want to do easier: use functions. Writing code is mostly about organization, and a first step in the direction of organizing code is to use functions.
