Keep getting -fpermissive errors on my program

Jun 9, 2015 at 3:14pm
Basically, the output of my program is supposed to be like this:
The class scores are:
Students # Test#1 Test#2 Test#3
1 88 98 76
2 76 88 87
3 56 77 55
4 55 89 66
5 76 98 66
6 87 84 81
7 80 91 77
8 69 70 81
9 85 99 77
10 88 91 79

The class average for test #1 is : ?
The class average for test #2 is : ?
The class average for test #3 is : ?

The problem is that whenever I run my code I get these errors:
[Error] invalid conversion from 'int' to 'int (*)[3]' [-fpermissive]
[Error] initializing argument 1 of 'double ClassAvg(int (*)[3], int)' [-fpermissive]
[Error] invalid conversion from 'int' to 'int (*)[3]' [-fpermissive]
[Error] initializing argument 1 of 'double ClassAvg(int (*)[3], int)' [-fpermissive]
[Error] invalid conversion from 'int' to 'int (*)[3]' [-fpermissive]
[Error] initializing argument 1 of 'double ClassAvg(int (*)[3], int)' [-fpermissive]
[Error] expected ';' before 'cout'
global scope:
[Error] expected declaration before '}' token

Your ClassAvg() function expects a two dimensional array of int for the first parameter yet you're trying to pass a single int instead. You probably mean to pass the table, not scores.

I mean, I kept the ClassAvg(table,scores) and took out some other things, and it did give me the table with the students' test scores, but idk how to show the class average scores: This is the simplified code that worked, but doesnt show the class averages:

What exactly are you trying to average? The rows like {88, 98, 76} or the columns 88, 76, 56, 55, 76, etc?

Jun 9, 2015 at 4:44pm
the columns, 88,76,56,55,76, etc
Jun 9, 2015 at 4:58pm
Okay then you only need one loop to loop through the columns. The rows will be constant throughout the function. Something more like:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
double ClassAvg(int array[scores][testNum], int column)
{

      for(int i = 0; i < scores; i++)  // You may want to actually pass "scores" as a parameter as well. 
      {
         cout << setw(5) << array[i][column] << " ";
      }
      cout << endl;


But instead of printing the numbers, you'd sum them, then average them and then return the average.

And you may want to start adding a little bit of whitespace in your "calculations" to make reading the code easier.
