I saved the file "test.txt" in the following format in the same directory as the program
1.3
2.3
1.2
3.45
6.78
2.34

The program just keeps running, no cmd prompt. no errors.

#include <iostream>

#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

ifstream inputfile;

inputfile.open("test.txt");

double sum = 0,value;
int count=0;

while(!inputfile.eof())

{

inputfile >> value;

sum+= value;

count++;

}

double avg = sum/count;

cout << "The Average of the numbers : " << avg << endl;
system("pause");
return 0;

}

Explanation / Answer

You forgot to check if file opened successfully and to close it after. Also make sure you create a file called "test" that is txt file in directory instead of "test.txt" I ran this code, it should work. #include #include using namespace std; int main() { ifstream inputfile; inputfile.open("test.txt"); double sum,value; int count; count = sum = value = 0; if (inputfile.is_open()) { while(!inputfile.eof()) { inputfile >> value; sum+= value; count++; } double avg = sum/count; cout
