trying to get void getscore() to read a file and report

[Diablo01]

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

// Function prototype
void getScore(int &);
void calcAverage(int, int, int, int, int);
int findLowest(int, int, int, int, int);
int grades(int, int, int, int, int);
int main()
{
ifstream grades;
grades.open("grades.txt");

int testScr1, testScr2, testScr3, testScr4, testScr5;


getScore(testScr1);
getScore(testScr2);
getScore(testScr3);
getScore(testScr4);
getScore(testScr5);

calcAverage(testScr1, testScr2, testScr3, testScr4, testScr5);

return 0;
}

void getScore(int &score)
{



}

void calcAverage(int s1, int s2, int s3, int s4, int s5)
{
int sum;
int lowest;
double average;


lowest = findLowest(s1, s2, s3, s4, s5);

sum = s1 + s2 + s3 + s4 + s5 - lowest;
average = sum / 4.0;

cout << setw(4) << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2);
cout << "The avergae of the four highest scores are: " << average << endl;
}

int findLowest(int s1, int s2, int s3, int s4, int s5)
{
int lowest = s1;

cout << "The lowest test score is: " << lowest << endl;

return lowest;
}


this is what I have so far but I a stuck. The name of the file is grades.txt.
I am trying to get the program to read 5 grades from a file and report back lowest grade that will be dropped and average of 4 left. It runs but is not reading the file. Please help. thank you

ok I think I understand but I am not finding a way to use the void getscore() to read from the file. The file has 5 grades. The program runs but reports long numbers that I did not input so to me that means that the program is not reading from the file

as keskiverto said, please edit your post and use code tags, as the code you posted is kinda hard to read...

edit: also from what I see, your function getScore does nothing, literally...
