Structs as Arrays

[zerojump]

I have a nested loop in my user-defined function INPUTPROD that terminates after the first run. I cant seem to understand what causes it to terminate. Help Pls. TIA

	int prodSold[];
};

   return NumAsString;

Lines 17-20: How many occurrences of the member variables do you think you're allocating? Hint: 0

Line 86: This is not standard C++. In standard compliant C++, array bounds must be known at compile time.

Line 86: prodArray is a local variable. It goes out of scope when INPUTPROD exits.

Line 98,100,103,106: Exactly which instance of a zero sized array do you think you're reading into?
