For the love of god, help me!!!!

Alright, I'm a total n00b to C++ (taking it in school right now). So I've been working on my homework quite a bit.. even going as far as to add things that we haven't learned yet (yeah, I'm an over-achiever.) but maybe I'm not getting the things that I've glanced over. This program is supposed to take three runner's names and track times. I've sorted the track time into arrays and I did the math on the milliseconds so it's easier for the computer to compare who has the fastest time. They're supposed to be displayed in first, second, and third. I've desk-checked my program, like three times, and I've changed things over and over trying to get this thing to sort all the way. I've even did the math in my head to make sure the math was right. Please someone help me. It'll probably be too late by the time I get an answer, but striving to be a good programmer, I need to know my mistake! Oh, and make it simple.. like starting out C++ basic coding, lol!

order[index] = order[index] + (600 * minutes[index]);:
You are adding the value in order[index](which is not set) to something causing it to store some trash data

Sorry, could you elaborate? Here's my logic on it to help you better understand the errors of my ways...

If someone ran a track in 13:10.50, I have an array set for each : minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. What I did (or attempted to do) was this:
minutes - 13 min * 600ms = 7800ms
seconds - 10 sec * 10ms = 100ms
milliseconds - 50ms
so 7800 + 100 + 50 = 7900ms total.

So, if I convert each runner's track time into total milliseconds, the computer can calculate easily who has the fastest time through bubblesort (or just any sort that will work by comparing the order[array].)

So, could you explain to me what some solutions might be without me having to rewrite the whole thing?

nevermore28, I want to kiss your face!!!! after reading over what you said a few times, I realized what you meant and fixed it by adding order[index] = 0 to my loop so it initialized that spot with an integer!!!! AND IT FIXED IT! I LOVE YOU! You're so great. I bet you look at yourself everyday and wonder how someone so amazing can be on this earth.

You. are. amazing.

Thanks.
