Question

I’m very new to C# and I need your help.
I have a file named myData.txt with the following data in it.

Johnson    85  83  77  91 100  
Aniston    80  90  95  93  48   
Chen       78  81  11  90  73  
Gupta      92  83  30  69  87  
Blair      23  45  96  38  59  
Lamah     100 100 100 100 100

The first three scores are ‘Assignments’ and the last two scores are ‘Exams’.
All the names should go into a 1-dimensional array
Assignments into a 2-dim array
also Exams into a 2-dim array

My ultimate aim is to find out the average of assignments & exams for each student.

Answer 1

This is a homework assignment, so I’ll just give you hints:

1. You can use StreamReader to open the file: StreamReader
2. Looks like each line ends with a new line. You can loop through the file and read each line via
   StreamReader’s ReadLine method: ReadLine
3. It looks like each line is delimited by tab. You can split the string returned by ReadLine on tab by using String’s split method: Split. The char code for tab is ‘\t’. Splitting the string will put it into an array.
4. Convert the scores to a number, add, and then divide at the end to get the mean.
