Need help finding the maximum, minimum and average of the sales amount(from a file) without using an array.

I can provide the file and the output if anyone need to see them.

[Thomas1965]

It's always a good idea to provide the input file so people can run the program.
What actually is your problem ?

Name the file "sales-info". Need to find the highest and lowest sales amount out of all of them. Also the average.

> Need to find the highest and lowest sales amount out of all of them. Also the average.

For doing this, we need to extract only one field (the sales amount) from each sales record (line).

Something like this would suffice:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <iomanip>

struct sales_rec
{
    std::string text ; // the full test of the record
    double amount ; // the sales amount extracted from the text
};

bool parse( std::string line, sales_rec& sales )
{
    // create a string stream to extract the fields from the line
    std::istringstream stm(line) ;

    std::string first_name, last_name ;
    unsigned long long age, ssn ;
    double sales_amount ;

    if( stm >> first_name >> last_name >> age >> ssn >> sales_amount )
    {
        sales = { line, sales_amount } ;
        return true ; // successfully parsed
    }

    else return false ; // parse error
}

// read in one sales record; put the stream into a failed state if input failed
std::istream& operator>> ( std::istream& stm, sales_rec& sales )
{
    std::string line ;

    if( std::getline( stm, line ) )
    {
        if( line.empty() ) return stm >> sales ; // skip empty lines
        if( !parse( line, sales ) ) stm.clear(stm.failbit) ; // parse error: input failed
    }

    return stm ;
}

bool print_min_max_avg_sales( std::istream& stm )
{
    sales_rec min_sales { "", 1.e+50 } ; // initialise with impossibly high amount
    sales_rec max_sales { "", -1.e-50 } ; // initialise with impossibly low amount
    double total = 0.0 ;
    std::size_t cnt = 0 ;

    sales_rec curr {} ;
    while( stm >> curr ) // for each sales record read in successfully
    {
        ++cnt ;
        total += curr.amount ;
        if( curr.amount < min_sales.amount ) min_sales = curr ;
        if( curr.amount > max_sales.amount ) max_sales = curr ;
    }

    if( cnt > 0 )
    {
        std::cout << " #records: " << cnt << '\n'
                  << std::fixed << std::setprecision(2)
                  << "min sales: " << min_sales.amount << "  (" << min_sales.text << ")\n"
                  << "max sales: " << max_sales.amount << "  (" << max_sales.text << ")\n"
                  << "total amt: " << total << '\n'
                  << "  average: " << total / cnt << '\n' ;
    }

    return cnt > 0 ; // true if at least one record was read and results were printed
}

int main()
{
    std::istringstream test_stm( // we use a string stream for testing

Thanks I test this out when I have the time(probably tomorrow). Also the file I share wasn't the whole thing since the length was about 25,000, which the comment only allow up to 8,192.
