Input from a file into an array?
Hello, I just have a quick question regarding functions, arrays, and reading from a file.
So I'm wanting to create a function which takes input from a file (strings and integers -- the person's name and their current salary (float)) and store said data into two arrays.
I want the arrays to be similar so if I look up the same element in the array it would match up.
From an input file:
i.e. Billy = array[0]
$62753.89
Jill = array[1]
$250,000.00
If that doesn't make sense I can attempt to clarify better. Just basically taking input from a file, storing it in an array which is used in a function.
I tried it myself and when I cerr my function it comes out to equal 1.

The input would look exactly like this:
Steve S.
2000.00
John T.
3452.15
Sarah K.
4999.32
Ameno A.
3798.27
I would need to take the name out, store that in an array, then take out the salary, store that in an array, and make them parallel with one index.
