Programming Assignment
Write a program to provide a report of student grades. Each student is given four exams. The final grade of each student is determined by calculating the weighted average of all the exams. Your report should show the average of each student, the class average, and the maximum and minimum grades for the class.
The first set of data input contains the weights (proportions) for the four exam grades. Next, input the number of students in the class. The set of data input for each student contains the following information:
-- Student's name
-- Student's ID
-- Grade for exam 1
-- Grade for exam 2
-- Grade for exam 3
-- Grade for exam 4
Use the following test data:
-- weights for exams: .10, .20, .25, .45
-- number of student: 15
-- first student record: 101101032, 75, 87, 79, 92
-- make up the rest yourself.
Your output should be neat and readable with appropriate headings.
Version A. (As above)
Version B. Using Input / Output Files. Further instructions:
Input data from the below.
Create a .DAT file for this purpose: Copy the lines below into a text file using Notepad. Then save the file with a .DAT extension.

================================
Here are some things you will need:
#include <fstream>|
ifstream infile ("d:\\students.dat"); //input data file
ofstream outReport ("d:\\report.txt"); //output text file – Report
Question - why double \\ ?
use infile>> to read from input file
use outReport<< to send output to report file
Note that "d:" assumes you have the data on a thumb drive (it may not be d: on your computer)
You could also set up a folder on your local computer, for example: "c:\\IOfiles\\students.dat"
Just in case you have made a mistake with the file – file is missing, name is wrong, path is wrong, etc – use the following test code before you input or output:
if (!infile) //testing file – do the same for outfile
cerr << "Error: could not open input file\n";
else { //files OK - do rest of program
