Question

I have a text file with 50 multiple choice answers of 10 students which I need to compare to an answer key in the same text file..

The format goes like this

<answer key>

<student name>

<his answers>

<student name>

<his answers>

and so forth...

how can I input the information in a text file into a data array in the program which will allow me to manipulate data and compare answers to give a grade to each student??

So far I am only able to add the answer key into a data array which is the first line of the text file.. I need to add strings for the name and add their respective answers into the program so I am able to compare them with the answer key..

NEED HELP PLEASE!!! with a code.

Explanation / Answer

#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    char input[100];
    char name[5][100];
    char answerkey[100];
    char hisresponse[5][100];
    int anscount[5]={0};
    cout<<"Enter the name of the input file"<<endl;
    cin>>input;
    ifstream inputfile(input);
    inputfile>>answerkey;
    for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
    {
        inputfile>>name[i];
        inputfile>>hisresponse[i];
    }
    for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
    {
        for(int j=0;j<50;j++)
        {
            if(hisresponse[i][j]==answerkey[j])
                    anscount[i]++;
        }
        cout<<name[i]<<" answered "<<anscount<<" answers correctly"<<endl;


    }
    return 0;
}
