I have a text file with many columns and rows of values (integer and decimal), I want the C program to find the highest number from each column and print it.

note :It has to work for either text file or excel file at least. even if the solution is found in C++, it will be helpful.

What I have tried:

I have created the C program to read the file and print the contents, but unable to print the highest number from each column.

If you want help to fix your code, you have to show it.

Parse each line to get the list of values. Go through the list comparing each vale with a base to find the highest.

If you're asking for someone to write the code for you, that's not going to happen. CP is not a "code for hire" service.

If you've got a question about your own code, fine, that we can help with. But you have to spell out what the problem is.
