Array/Function cout issue

[krakkens]

Hello there. My issue seems to be that my cout command is displaying all the work instead of just the final answer. At the end of the Code the cout (the last four lines) is correct so I know the calculation part is right however I can't figure out why it's spitting out what it does. Any guidance would be great.

Description: Program reads numbers from a txt file and displays the lowest number in the array, the highest number in the array,
total sum number of all the numbers in the array and avg number of all the numbers in the array.

My issue seems to be that my cout command is displaying all the work instead of just the final answer.

That's because your cout<< statements are within the loop. You should bring your cout<< statements outside the loop.

for (count = 0; count < ARRAY_SIZE; count++)
{ 
     inputFile >> number[count];
     highest = getHighest(number, ARRAY_SIZE);     //get highest number and display

     lowest = getLowest(number, ARRAY_SIZE);     //get lowest number and display

     sum = getSum(number,ARRAY_SIZE);	     //get sum and display

     avg = getAverage(number,ARRAY_SIZE);     //get avg and display
}//end while

inputFile.close();

cout << "The highest value is "<< highest << endl;
cout << "The lowest value is " << lowest << endl;
cout << "The sum of the numbers is " << sum << endl;
cout << "The average of the numbers is " << avg << endl;

You should also be careful here: highest = number[12]; (12 is beyond the indexable range of the array).

Also, there is no need to calculate the lowest, highest, sum, and average every single time a new number is added. It's sufficient to do all those calculations after all the numbers have been read.
