I can't for the life of me find out what is wrong with my code. I am only a few weeks into this beginners c++ course so please understand my noobiness.
This is the prompt I have to follow:
Your program should work as follows. First, you need to prompt for and input a file path to the poll file.
Next, you'll check to make sure that the file at that path opened correctly. If not, please report an
appropriate error message and quit the program. Then, echo the contents of the file to the screen. Finally,
display the averages for each of the four demographics required. The numbers you're looking for are:
Republicans under $30000: 51%
Republicans over $30000: 65%
Democrats under $30000: 40%
Democrats over $30000: 47%
The percentages shown are what I need to find out but it keeps printing as zero. Thanks for the help.
