    Default Statistics Lab - Loop/ File IO NEED HELP!

    I'm desperate to try and solve this. I forgot to do this lab during mid semester in my computer science class and for some reason i'm drawing complete blanks. This is the last lab I need to complete for full credit. I put in some of the basic variables but really need help completing this.

    I don't have the text files with me.

    /*
     * Create a program that will calculate the min, max and average from a
     * data set(s).  The purpose of the lab is to implement a loop construct
     * along with the ability to perform file I/O.
     * 1) Place C4L2_Data1.txt, C4L2_Data2.txt, and C4L2_Data3.txt in the
     *    root directory of your project.  These are your input files.
     * 2) Each file has a list of numbers which is a combination of
     *    integer and floating point values.
     * 3) Each file has the same values, but in different order.
     * 4) Since it is likely you wouldn't know the count of values in an input
     *    file I suggest you use the while or do-while loop.
     * 5) Your program should read the data line-by-line evaluating each value
     *    to determine if it is the min or max while also accumulating the total
     *    which will be used to calculate the avergage upon reading all values.
     * 6) After you execute your program using C4L2_Data1.txt, run it again
     *    using the other two input files.  
     * 7) The purpose of having the same data amongst three files is to test
     *    the logic of your program to handle the case(s) where the min and max
     *    could be anywhere in the file.
     * 8) After you execute your program with the three files you should always
     *    obtain the same min, max, and average.  If your results differ between
     *    the input files then you have a logical error in your program

    import java.io.File;
    import java.util.Scanner;
    import java.text.DecimalFormat;
     
    public class C4L2_Statistics {
      public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
          double num; //Temporary var representing a single value from the file
          double min; //The minimum value in the file
          double max; //The maximum value in the file
          double average; //The average of the values
          int count = 0; //Keeps track of the number of values in the file
          double total = 0; //The accumulator
          DecimalFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00");
     
     
     
     
     
     
          System.out.println("min=");
          System.out.println("max=");
          System.out.println("average=");
     
      }
    }
