 #include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int main()
{
    ifstream inputfile;
    int number;
    int total = 0;
    inputfile.open("C:\\Users\\Caitlyn\\Desktop\\42.txt");
    if (inputfile) 
   
    while(inputfile >> number)
     {
                  cout << number << endl;  
                    }
                    
               
    {
          total +=number;
           cout << "total is: " << total << endl;
          
          }
          
               inputfile.close();
          system("pause");
          return 0;
          }

the last thing i need to make the program do is tell me how many numbers there are and divide the total by the numbers to get an average is some kind of tutorial i can look up. i don't want to ask for the answer directly i want to try to figure it out.

May be make a count variable to keep track of the number of times in the loop then divide the total...
