Final project help

Pages: 12

Hello, I am working on this project for my first computer science class and was in need of some help. I keep getting this error. error C2664: 'void enterKey(char)' : cannot convert argument 1 from 'char [10]' to 'char'

I think I get what is wrong, that maybe it is just because its trying to convert 10 to just plain char, but I don't understand what I should do to fix the problem. Any help would be great!

I will also be needing more help with the rest of my code later on so this isn't just for this one possibly really simple problem and will update as I go on! Thanks again for any help!

Look at your prototype:
void enterKey(char);

Then look at your definition:
void enterKey(char key[])
closed account (48T7M4Gy)
void enterKey(char[]); Don't forget you need to limit the char array parameter.

BTW why don't you scrap struct Answers and include the array in the StudentRecord struct?

Okay, so I changed it up a little bit, I noticed that I was supposed to have this read from a .txt file and this is where I am. I don't quite understand why my loop isn't working, like it says that it needs a pointer-to-object type. What is that?

p.s. Sorry I haven't responded lately, I was pretty sick all day yesterday!

Nevermind! I saw what you did with it kemort! Makes more sense there! Thank you!

I am a little stuck on another part now, I don't really understand how to get this to display in ascending order by name, what can I do for that?

To get the info in order you need to sort it and that means you need to store the info as it comes from the file in some sort of container eg array vector map etc which can all be sorted ( with varying degrees of difficulty with standard functions ) Of course, you can write your own.

Check out the tutorials on STL containers.

Okay, I've got more in to this now. It currently says I have 1 error which once I get that right I may have 10 more errors lol, but this is what I have. Any ideas?

Thank you kemort! I probably wouldn't have noticed that!

Just a lucky glance schellman2. Does the program run?
schellman2 (25)
My program doesn't run, could not convert 'stu' from 'StudentRecord*' to 'StudentRecord' is my error. Like I see what is wrong but I don't know what to do to fix it..

Take just one function call:

line 53: calculateScore(answers, key, score, average, letter_grade);
line 77: void calculateScore(StudentRecord * stu, char answers[10], char key[10], int score, double average, char letter_grade)

Are you sure the first two parameters are compatible? I can easily see what stu is but what is answers doing there?
schellman2 (25)
okay, i see that, no idea why I put answers in there. Might have been thinking of another part of my code and just put it in there by mistake.. and I am not sure that they are compatible.

Does stu look correct to be there? It seems like a lot of my troubles are coming out of structures.

It looks right to me but what you should do is test it and satisfy yourself by puttin in a loop to display all the student records at each stage to make sure the array is being used the way you intended.

Okay, so I got a little help from my professor and now my code runs and it displays everything, just doesn't display any information, it's all garbage. I am having a little bit of trouble getting the file to read because I'm just confusing myself with the structure in my getInfo function!

This helped out a lot! Okay, assuming that all of my code is correct it should display everything correctly as far as numbers being correct, but I'm getting garbage for my display. I got it to display the first and last name how I wanted it, but now the rest is still garbage. Here is all of my code now if you could check out what I mean!

Where is your sample data? I can't do anything until you produce a data file with about 5 student details on it.

Just one thing I noticed in you student struct Answer and Answers is not good naming.

What is line 61/62 doing going nowhere?
