Trouble remaking a project with void functions

[LainStorm]

I'm still a little iffy on how to use functions separate from main but this is what i've got so far

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

void gradeloopFunction() //gets name saves it into a file then takes grades grade input and averages them
{
	 for (int i = 1; i <= number_of_Students; i++)
        {
  cout << "Enter a name for student #" << i << " ";
  getline (cin, name);
  cin.ignore();
  outputFile << name << endl;
  //write the name to the text file
 
        int number_of_Grades = 3;
	 for (int j = 1; j <= number_of_Grades; j++) 
  {
   cout << "Enter a grade #" << j << " ";
   cin >> grade;

     while (grade > 100 || grade < 1)
	   {
		   cout << "Invalid: Please enter a number between 1 & 100!" << endl;
		   cin >> grade;
	   }
   //add the grade to the average
	   cout << setprecision(1) << fixed;
	   average = average + grade;
	   average = average / 3;
	   return average;
  }

	 void averageloopFunction()//turns grade into a char 
	 {
		 char grd;
		 if(average >= 90)
		 {
			 grd = 'A';
		 }
		 if(average >= 80; average < 90)
		 {
			 grd = 'B';
		 }
		 if(average >= 70; average < 80)
		 {
			 grd = 'C';
		 }
		 else if(average < 70)
		 {
			 grd = 'F';
		 }
		 return grd;
	 }

	 outputFile << average << endl;
int main ()

{
	string name;
	int number_of_Students = 4,
		grade = 0;
	float average= 0;

ofstream outputFile;
outputFile.open("avegrade.txt");


	gradeloopFunction(main)
	averageloopFunction(average)

	outputFile << average << grd << endl;
	outputFile.close();

return 0;
}

The original looks like this:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
int main ()
 
 
{
        string name;
        int number_of_Students = 4,
                grade = 0;
        double average= 0;
 
ofstream outputFile;
outputFile.open("avegrade.txt");
 
 
        for (int i = 1; i <= number_of_Students; i++)
        {
  cout << "Enter a name for student #" << i << " ";
  getline (cin, name);
  cin.ignore();
  outputFile << name << endl;
  //write the name to the text file
 
        int number_of_Grades = 3;
  for (int j = 1; j <= number_of_Grades; j++)
  {
   cout << "Enter a grade #" << j << " ";
   cin >> grade;
 
           while (grade > 100 || grade < 1)
           {
                   cout << "Invalid: Please enter a number between 1 & 100!" << endl;
                   cin >> grade;
           }
   //add the grade to the average
           cout << setprecision(1) << fixed;
           average = average + grade;
           average = average / 3;
           outputFile << average << endl;
  }
  //calculate the average and write to file. divide by 3
        }
 
        outputFile.close();
 
return 0;
}

Should I be initializing variables in main or the function as well?

i think i just dug myself a hole, i'm just to figure out what i'm doing wrong before i go to sleep

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

ofstream outputFile;
char grd;
int number_of_Students = 4,
	grade = 0;
float average= 0;
string name;


float gradeloopFunction()
{
	 for (int i = 1; i <= number_of_Students; i++)
        {
  cout << "Enter a name for student #" << i << " ";
  getline (cin, name);
  cin.ignore();
  outputFile << name << endl;
	 }
  //write the name to the text file
 
        int number_of_Grades = 3;
	 for (int j = 1; j <= number_of_Grades; j++) 
  {
   cout << "Enter a grade #" << j << " ";
   cin >> grade;

     while (grade > 100 || grade < 1)
	   {
		   cout << "Invalid: Please enter a number between 1 & 100!" << endl;
		   cin >> grade;
	   }
   //add the grade to the average
	   cout << setprecision(1) << fixed;
	   average = average + grade;
	   average = average / 3;
	   return average;
  }
}

	 char averageloopFunction()
	 {
		 
		 if(average >= 90)
		 {
			 grd = 'A';
		 }
		 if(average >= 80; average < 90)
		 {
			 grd = 'B';
		 }
		 if(average >= 70; average < 80)
		 {
			 grd = 'C';
		 }
		 else(average < 70)
		 {
			 grd = 'F';
		 }
		 return grd;
	 }
int main()
{
	outputFile.open("avegrade.txt");

	gradeloopFunction();
	averageloopFunction(average);

	outputFile << average << grd << endl;
	outputFile.close();

return 0;
}

im getting these errors

in line 52 and 56 you need to replace the ; with &&
if(average >= 80 && average < 90)

in line 71 you call averageloopFunction(average) but it is a function who doesn't take parameters.

BTW why is number_of_Grades smaller than number_of_Students?

[LainStorm]

Thomas the reason number_of_Grades is smaller because it takes 3 grades from input while the number of students is 4.

3 grades from 4 different students.

yeah i fixed the errors in 52 and 56 . im still getting 1>c:\users\zeit\documents\visual studio 2012\projects\project17\project17\source.cpp(66): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '{'

and the argument error

[LainStorm]

so far i got this

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

ofstream outputFile;
char grd;
int number_of_Students = 4,
	grade = 0;
float average= 0;
string name;


float gradeloopFunction()
{
	 for (int i = 1; i <= number_of_Students; i++)
        {
  cout << "Enter a name for student #" << i << " ";
  getline (cin, name);
  cin.ignore();
  outputFile << name << endl;
	 }
  //write the name to the text file
 
        int number_of_Grades = 3;
	 for (int j = 1; j <= number_of_Grades; j++) 
  {
   cout << "Enter a grade #" << j << " ";
   cin >> grade;

     while (grade > 100 || grade < 1)
	   {
		   cout << "Invalid: Please enter a number between 1 & 100!" << endl;
		   cin >> grade;
	   }
   //add the grade to the average
	   cout << setprecision(1) << fixed;
	   average = average + grade;
	   average = average / 3;
	   return average;
  }
}

	 char averageloopFunction()
	 {
		 
		 if(average >= 90)
		 {
			 grd = 'A';
		 }
		 if(average >= 80 && average < 90)
		 {
			 grd = 'B';
		 }
		 if(average >= 70 && average < 80)
		 {
			 grd = 'C';
		 }
		 else(average < 70)
		 {
			 grd = 'F';
		 }
		 return grd;
	 }
int main()
{
	outputFile.open("avegrade.txt");

	gradeloopFunction();
	averageloopFunction(average);

	outputFile << average << grd << endl;
	outputFile.close();

return 0;
}

it's still not finished but it's as close as i can get without sleep

[Thomas1965]

line 60 else(average < 70) must be else if(average < 70)

line 71 averageloopFunction(average); must be averageloopFunction();

This should fix all compile errors.
