This is a lab I am working for for a CSE 201. The program is supposed to read information about students and their scores from a file, and output the name of each student with all his/her scores and the total score, plus the average score of the class, and the name and total score of the students with the highest and lowest total score.
The exact assignment can be seen here: http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/cse201/labs/lab7/lab7.html
I'm having a little trouble getting it to compile, especially with the variable "students".
Any help would be great, thanks so much everyone.
