array

Am I doing this right, can I clean it up a bit?

Write a modular program that analyzes a year's worth of rainfall data. In addition to main, the program should have a getData function that accepts the total rainfall for each of the 12 months from the user, and stores it in a double array. It should also have four value-returning functions that compute and return to main the totalRainfall, averageRainfall, driestMonth, and wettestMonth. These last two functions return the number of month with the lowest and highest rainfall amounts, not the amount of rain that fell those months. Notice that this months number can be used to obtain the amount of rain that fell those months. This information should be used either by main or by a displayReport function called by main to print a summary rainfall report.

Looks good overall, though there's a couple things that feel a little redundant. Like, "and press enter after each." The user probably knows this already, but you can leave that there if you want.

The other thing I would change is removing lines 37-40. (Where it outputs the rainfall for each month.) This is already taken care of when the user was asked to input the numbers. So outputting what they just inputted kind of clutters the screen.

You could also start your counters at 1. That way you can do "count<=12", but whatever works for you is fine. :)

If you want to "prettify" you code, you can do the following: (This is how my instructor taught me.)

Oh, stupid me. I don't know what I was thinking when I said "start the counters at 1" These are arrays. >.< You had them correct the first time.


In addition there were a couple problems in the getData function. (By constantly using the constant int size 12, it was calling an element that didn't exist, instead it should have been using [count] ) It was also missing a means to combine the total rainfall. (I've added it on line 42.)

in the "for" loops, I did less than (<) the ARRAY_SIZE (12) which is the equivalent to "<=11".

yes it does help a lot. Thank you, this is for my final in my class so I want to make sure its perfect so I can get a 100 on it.

I have a couple more questions.
1)Could I put inches after the months and in where it displays the report?
2)What does this mean? These last two functions return the number of month with the lowest and highest rainfall amounts, not the amount of rain that fell those months
3)Does this mean that I have to have a 2-dimensional array?the program should have a getData function that accepts the total rainfall for each of the 12 months from the user, and stores it in a double array

You won't be able to cout any strings after the user has input the rainfall for each month. (C++ automatically does a newline after cin.) You can however specify the user to input the amount in inches. (Just so they know.)

In the function displayReport(), just add ' << " inches." ' before "<< endl;"

Now I'm not sure why you used the word "sales" to refer to the month array, but on lines 59-60, you would just cout the month (sales) array in addition to the name array using the hiSalesProduct and lowSalesProduct variables in their respected lines.

Are you suppose to be using a 2D array? A 2D array is like using Word Excel. (Spreadsheets) Where you have rows and columns, a 2D array wouldn't be necessary unless you were dealing with something like the rainfall for each day of every month.

You were using a double array in your first code, but when you re-wrote it you changed it to int. (line 19.) Just change that to a double and reflect that in the formal parameters of all the functions and prototypes.

sorry I copied a program I did previously since it was kinda the same thing.

So for lines 6-10, 32, 53, 64, 77. I change all the int to double. right?

Is this how its supposed to look like? and how could I fix the average part.

Well, lets go over your avgRainfall function:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
 
double avgRainfall(double array[])
{
	int averageofMonths=0;

	for(int pos=0; pos<ARRAY_SIZE; pos++)
	{
		pos =+ month[count];
		average=total/12;
	}
	return averageofMonths;
}


First, you passed the month array and are referring to it as "array[]" but in your for loop your calling a array called "month[count]" the array month doesn't exist, and neither does the variable count. The variavle average doesn't exist, but averageofMonths does. the "add to self" operator is backwards, (suppose to be +=,) and your changing the counter variable, not adding to average. And the variable total also does not exist.

The line where you divide the average by 12, should be outside the loop, because it only needs to be done once, not for all 12 elements. (You could also divide by ARRAY_SIZE instead.)


When you're copying and pasting code from other projects, you need to make sure the variables are renamed to match your current program.

Edit: Oh, you also forgot to cout avgRainMonth on line 61. And you wrote "averageRainfall" instead of "avgRainfall" on lines 7 and 57. (On 57, avgRainMonth should be of type double, instead of int.) On lines 61-62, you called the name array without specifying the index, and then called the name array instead of the rain array.

On line 7 you're using the counter variable (i) and adding to it itself in addition to the value in month[12] (which doesn't exist.) On line 9, you're dividing i by the value in month[12] which doesn't exist.

You can always refer to your original code in your first post. (lines 34-36.)

What line 7 should do, is add to itself (average) in addition to month[i]. (average += month[i] is the same as average = average + month[i])

After the loop, line 9 should take average, and be assigned average divided by ARRAY_SIZE, which is the number of months, 12. (average /= ARRAY_SIZE is the same as average = average / ARRAY_SIZE.)

	{
		rainSum = rainSum + month[ARRAY_SIZE];
	}
	avgRain = rainSum / 12;
	return avgRain;
}


When I try to run it I'm getting a lot of errors with doubles to int's. Can you show me how to write the code?
benjamin d (36)
The function looks fine, except on line 9, the month array should be using the count variable, not the ARRAY_SIZE.

What does the rest of the code look like? Did you remember to change "int avgRainMonth" to "double avgRainMonth" on line 57?

okay, thank you.

so getData and avgRainMonth should be doubles and the rest should be int's right?
benjamin d (36)
Could you explain what you mean by, "the rest should be ints"? avgRainMonth are getData() should be fine as doubles... Are you experiencing issues with getData()?

Wait, why are you suddenly using a 2D array? A 2D array isn't necessary. (Is it required for the assignment?)

Most of your issues are syntax errors, what program are you using to code? Visual Studio 2010 Express (free) has built-in syntax checking so it will underline in red what is incorrect.

I used a 2D array, because it says it should get the info and store it in a double array. So to me double means 2D.

Yes I'm using 2010 Express. Is what I should do? Because I need to call getData, so then it can use the info for the other stuff right?

A "double array" means it should be an array holding elements of type double. Just like you can have an array of type char, string, int, etc.

It's getting hard for me to keep up with the major changes your making in your code. (It looks completely re-written from your original code.) I'm afraid I've helped about as much as I can.

You could probably just stick with your first code (Or something close to it,) and clean up the outputted text a little. (Only changing what is cout to the screen.)

My only problem is I feel like in main, I need to call getData to get the information the user entered. So if you can help me with that and if you can find anything else wrong.

This is the program I'm going to use.

Using a 2 dimensional array is going to throw everything off, because most of the function are written for only 1 dimensional arrays. (And 2D arrays are twice as complicated.)

Calling getData() without any parameter is going to result in an error because it's expecting you to pass the name and month arrays.
