I'm not asking for the answer, just a nudge in the right direction. First time posting so I appreciate any help! I'm trying to create a for loop to find the average from a set of data after pulling that data from said file. There are 3 total scores for the exam and thought the initial exam would be listed as the first data point, 1, and go up to 3 as theirs 3 exams, but this isn't working. Again not asking for the answer, just really struggling and not sure where to turn.

There's something wrong with this part of your code

for (int exam = 1; exam <= 3; number++)
{
    sum = sum + number;
    total = total + 1;
}
#

There are a couple of other parts that are wrong or I'm not sure what you're doing

Thanks for the input. To be honest, I'm completely lost. I don't know how to create a for loop to find the average of a set of data a in txt file. I'm trying my best to understand it but I have no clue what I'm doing. I don't understand fully how to create a for loop so I'm trying to read and learn on the go.
