Problems reading values from a file and calculating the sum

36 New Member
i have to calculate a total amount of pounds for my program. i am getting each pound calculated but i have to add up all those pounds into one total.
the problem is one of the total pounds is not supposed to be calculated.

how do i do this I am struggling

OUTPUT:
Total weight21.5
Total weight30
Total weight50.8
Total weight12.4
Total weight42.6
Total weight31.5
Total weight22.4
Total weight71.3 this total cant be included in the total pounds

the total amount of weight has to come out to 211.2pounds
I cant figure how to get that amount. Any ideas will help!


here is the code that calculates the above:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. totalWeight=weightOfPounds;
  3.                 outFile2<< "Total weight" << totalWeight << endl;
  4.  
  5.

For adding up all the total weights into the total sum, after you have finished calculating the current total weight, just add it to the total sum with the += operator.
totalSum += totalWeight;
Hope this makes sense.

charmeda103, please do not double post you questions and please do try to use a good title for your problems.

Neither "PLEASE Im having so much trouble with this calculation." or "please help understanding this concept" are a good summary of you problem.

Please try to find time to read the forums posting guidelines.

I have merge your threads and retitled them.

Hello, I've encountered a strange problem which I can't seem to explain. I've written a simple C++ class that deals with a certian binary file. In one of the methods there, I wish to update a file - namely to read a certain field whose offset I know, and then write to another field, whose offset I also know. In order to read the data, I first use file.seekg(offset, ios::beg), and then a read command; I've checked the variable, and...

hey, i'm trying to write a simple program to read gif87a non- interlaced format with a single image-descriptor --- I am using djgpp on windows xp. Sounds simple enough, unfortunatly data in the format is arranged primarily in single-byte unsigned integers. So i've been reading them in a chars and casting them as unsigned chars into an int.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
