Console output giving unexpected number after a simple calculation? c-CodePudding

This is an assignment that I am doing for university and I have not had many problems with assignments up until this point. I would expect my program to be working properly as I would expect it to but when going through the console output, I am getting a weird calculation. This program takes input from a text file and calculates the grade for three students who took four tests. Please let me know what I have done wrong. Thank you.

My code:

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

//global variables
const int STUDENT = 3;
const int TEST = 4;

//function initializers
void getTests(double[STUDENT][TEST]);
double totalTests(double[STUDENT][TEST]);
double averageTests(double[STUDENT][TEST]);
void averageEachTest(double[STUDENT][TEST]);
void averageEachStudent(double[STUDENT][TEST]);
double getHighest(double[STUDENT][TEST]);
void getHighestOfEachTest(double[STUDENT][TEST]);
void getLowestOfEachTest(double[STUDENT][TEST]);
void report(double[STUDENT][TEST]);

//main
int main()
{
    double testScores[STUDENT][TEST]{};

    getTests(testScores);
    report(testScores);

    return 0;
}

    {

CodePudding user response：

You are seeing an uninitialized value.

cout << "Average score of student " << s   1
        << ": " << average << endl;

If you look at the for loop defining s then you'll see it is tested against TEST. You have got the upper condition for you two loops backwards.
