Use C++ Visual Studio. I as well have the data file required for this problem so I can enter the file in after the code is written. Thank You!!

Goals: Reading data from file, using arrays and functions.

Problem: You are to read a series of floating point numbers from a text file store them in an array, then calculate the average of the values in that array. Your program should employ 2 functions other than main.

The first function should open the file, store the values in an array, count and return the number of values stored in the array to the function call.

The second function should calculate average of the values in the array and return the average of the values to the function call.

The name of the text file is Lab8.dat (do not edit or change the name of the file).

Your main function should declare an array that could contain up to 400 floating point numbers, call the function to read the values from the file, call the function to calculate the average value, then output the number of values in the file and the average value in the file.

You may want to create a smaller file for testing.

Make sure that you have included your introductory comments containing the purpose of the program i.e. what problem or task is being solved plus the input needed from user to complete the problem/task, output expected from the program, and the processing needed to get the output from the input. The description of the purpose should be detailed enough that a person reading your code would not need any additional information to understand the problem. The processing comments should not include any C++ commands.
