Thanks for the assistance:

If I were to do the following, why does it only show the information for Kenez from my inFile?

What is your input and what SHOULD you get for a result?

[Amadeus]

	for (int j=0; j<stunum; j++);
	{
	while (inFile>>stuname>>Test1>>Test2>>Midterm>>Final>>Term);
	}

you have a while statement inside your for loop that executes without doing anything...right down to the last line of the file before proceeding.

you also have several opening and closing braces with no discernible purpose.

Below is my new 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;

	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;

	Grade= Test1+Test2+Midterm+Final+Term;
	Grade=Grade/5;
	inFile>>stuname>>Test1>>Test2>>Midterm>>Final>>Term;

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

	return 0;
}

Two problems: Why does it only print the profile for "Kenez" from my inFile? Secondly, in my outFile, it only print's out data for "Kenez" and it places the "Letter Grade", for Kenez in a separate line? Below are my inFile & outFile and also the aim of this program:
ASSIGNMENT #1

Accounting teachers, being naturally inept with numbers, have a difficult time calculating students’ averages and assigning letter grades at the end of each semester. Your accounting teacher is no exception. To make this end of semester grading easier, and more accurate, he hires you to write a program (C++) to automate the task. There are a variable number of students in his class, with each students grade being calculated as follows:



2 Tests 10% each

Midterm Exam 25%

Final Exam 30%

Term Project 25%



Input data is stored in a file named ClassData.dat. The first line in the input file has the number of students in the class. Each subsequent line contains one student’s Lastname, test-scores, exam scores and project score. Your program should begin by reading the number of students in the class, and then for each student, read the student’s name and test, exam and project scores. The program should then calculate the student’s average and assign him/her a letter grade (“A” for 90-100; “B” for 80-89; “C” for 70-79; and “F” for 69 and below). Finally, for each student, the program should print, to output file, his/her name, average, and grade.



Once all students have been processed, the program should print a summary report stating the number of “A”s, “B”’s, “C”’s and “F”’s assigned.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've created a Text file using notepad with the following data:

10
Gayle 75 82 62 61 59
Brown 79 100 17 19 89
Byles 100 94 81 79 81

Walsh 41 85 71 88 81
Ahmed 93 47 76 64 94
Ellis 87 99 100 70 83
Silny 80 76 85 78 81
Simms 88 93 42 84 65
Kenez 75 48 77 69 82

My outFile shows like tgis however:
The # of students in the class:10

Kenez 75 48 77 69 82 70.2
C The # of A's:0
The # of B's:0
The # of C's:1
The # of F's:0

- Just some logic errors really.. i'd say about 95% correct.. nicely done

1. You were not reading in a project grade. I fixed this so now it reads in the project grade.

2. The reason it was only reading in that name is you kept getting information until the # of students had been reached so you were only getting information for the last guy rather than each individual record.

This code works... I changed the input/output files to ".txt" so you will need to change those back to ".dat". I only did this to make sure the input/output was correct.

Input:

I see, that sure does work...but what if you don't want the headers to be printed all the time. I wanted my outFile to look like the following exept with all the students:
The # of students in the class:10

***********************************************************
Kenez 75 48 77 69 82 72.75 C
The # of A's: 0

just move the statement that prints the header outside of the for loop so it only does it once and also add the "****" line under it. I did it for you in the code here.
