Please help with simple accumulators.....

[nikonrick]

Hello:
New here, so thanks for any advise on this....

I have a program due by midnite, and having issues with these simple accumulators.

Program is to read in a data file containing grades, accumulate grades into buckets, and print out results.

I'm reading the file fine and creating and array called "grades".

I then loop through the array, and try to increment counters if the grade falls into that bucket. The accumulators are not working, and I don't know why. After execution, all accumulators = 0.

Please advise.....
Thanks, Richard


here is the part of the code that has this loop....


for(int j = 0; j<(num-1); j++)
{
cout << "Entering loop..." << endl;
cout << grades[j] << endl;
if((grades[j] >= 0) && (grades[j] < 24))
range1 += 1;

else if((grades[j] >= 25) && (grades[i] <= 49))
range2 += 1;

else if((grades[j] >= 50) && (grades[i] <= 74))
range3 += 1;

else if((grades[j] >= 75) && (grades[i] <= 99))
range4 += 1;

else if((grades[j] >= 100) && (grades[i] <= 124))
range5 += 1;

else if((grades[j] >= 125) && (grades[i] <= 149))
range6 += 1;

else if((grades[j] >= 150) && (grades[i] <= 174))
range7 += 1;

else if((grades[j] >= 175) && (grades[i] <= 200))
range8 += 1;
}

It looks to me like you said grades[i] by mistake in a lot of the spots. Did you mean grades[j] instead?
Also in the future could you highlight your code with tags please?

Boy......Sometimes we are really dense, aren't we? Yes, you are right. I'm gona fix that, and rerun the program......rh
