C++ Developer - Project - Reading Data from File and Printing Statistics

This video tutorial guides viewers through a project involving file input and output. The task is to read a file named 'scores.txt', process the data to calculate minimum, maximum, and average scores, and handle invalid data. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for setting up the project, coding the solution, and debugging. It emphasizes the importance of data validation and offers tips for handling invalid inputs. The video concludes with a preview of the next project, which involves dynamic object creation and file reading.

What is the main task of the project involving the scores.txt file?

• To sort the scores in ascending order

• To count the number of scores

• To calculate and display the minimum, maximum, and average scores

• To find the median score

What should the program do with invalid input values?

• Replace them with zero

• Log them to a separate file

• Ignore them and not consider them for statistics

• Include them in the calculations

What is the first step in setting up the project?

• Test the program with sample data

• Create a new project called file stats

• Write the main function

• Compile the code

Why is it important to check if the file exists before proceeding?

• To verify the file format

• To ensure the file is not empty

• To avoid runtime errors when trying to open a non-existent file

• To check the file size

What is the purpose of the while loop in the code?

• To read and process each line of the file

• To check for duplicate scores

• To sort the scores

• To write the results to a new file

How should the program handle a score of 105?

• Ignore it as it is out of the valid range

• Replace it with the maximum valid score

• Include it in the average calculation

• Subtract 5 to bring it within range

What should be done if the count of valid scores is zero?

• Use a default average value

• Skip the average calculation

• Display an error message

• Set the average to zero
