[lostincplusplus]

Hello all you wonderful genius programmers. I have to take a computer programming class as a prerequisite to get into nursing school...unfortunately I have absolutely no idea how to do any programming whatsoever and I am in DESPERATE need of help. I have an assignment due that I need help at least maybe just getting it started...

Here's the assignment:
This project involves read students' input data from a file and processing it
to calculate each student's average grade and determine a proper letter grade.
The specific tasks are:

1. Read student's record from the file "students.txt".
2. Calculate each student's average grade.
3. Assign letter grade to each student based on average grade.
4. Calcualte total average grade for all students.
5. Print the result to a display monitor including names, grade, average
grades, letter grades, and total average

and then the "students.txt" file contains this information:
Name Exam-1 Exam-2 Exam-3
J 78 90 88
L 80 87 82
S 60 58 78
T 75 78 56
