negative struct output

mountainsloth (3)
I'm trying to write a general struct practice code, but the output is always negative. can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong?

LAX[3].departed
You are indexing out of bounds. Change (LAX[1].landed + LAX[2].landed + LAX[3].landed) (and other related summations) to count from 0 instead of 1.

int minLandedYear = LAX[1].landed; You probably want that to be int minLandedYear = LAX[0].landed;, and likewise for your other initializations.

JayhawkZombie, thank you so much, I don't know how I overlooked that. I never go out of bounds. I suppose I should sleep. Anyway, it worked and I appreciate it.
