Here's your approach for the log analyzer:
1. Open the input file for reading. Check success.
2. Initialize: sum = 0, count = 0, min = large, max = small.
3. Read values in a loop, updating sum, count, min, and max for each value.
4. Close input file.
5. Open output file for writing. Check success.
6. Write formatted report with count, min, max, and average (sum/count).
7. Close output file. Each step builds on file I/O cores.
