Read a file then use for another function

[siraulo23]

Hello
Im trying to create a separate function that reads a file for everything i will need.

int text(double array1[], double array2[], char readthefile[])
{
	double xarray[200];
	double yarray[200];

	readingfile.open(file);
	if(!readingfile.is_open()){
		cout<<"Error reading the file\n";
		readingfile.close();
		system("PAUSE");
	}

	while(readingfile.good()&&readingfile){
			readingfile>>array1[row];
			readingfile>>array2[column];
			initialx+=array1[row];
			initialy+=array2[column];
			xy+=(array1[row]*array2[column]);
			xsquared+=(array1[row]*array1[row]);	
			count++;
	}

How do I get the value of total of initialx, initialy,xy and xsquared to be used in another function that i will make without reading the file again?

Thanks in advance!

Read the file and store its values in a global 2d array which you can use to calculate initialx, initialy, xy and xsquared.

I.e.

const int height = 5, width = 5;

xyArray[height][width];

void readFile(string filename)
{
    ifstream infile.open(filename);
    for(int i = 0; i < height; i++)
    {
         for(int j = 0; j < width; j++)
         {
             infile >> xyArray[i][j];
         }
    }

    infile.close();
}

// Calculate XY for example
xy = xyArray[0][0] * xyArray [1][0];

This is on condition that your file reflects the constraints of the logic above and looks something like this:
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5

Thanks, for the idea
I actually figured it out before you posted

Thanks anyway
