Need help with array program for C++ class!

Give us the code that actually causes these build errors. I have no idea what "putting size in the for loop results in the loop not executing" means.

if (col == 0){
  cout << name[col] << " ";
} 

You output name[0] each time.

[kgor93]

So how would I change that? Because I want to scan for the first column of each row, yet output a different string for each row.

[Moschops]

You're doing the same thing with the input.

When the col is zero, put the string into/read the name from name[row]

Ok thanks!

Ok, so I'm working on a lab for my C++ class and am frustrated that I'm getting a couple build errors. I listed those errors at the top of the code.

Anyway, the goal is to input company names and quarterly sales from a file (data.txt into a string (for the names) and double (for the data) array. Then the purpose is to allow the user to search for a company and display the sales. I haven't even gotten to the latter yet, just trying to focus on fixing these errors.

Here's the content of my data file:
Company1 40000 50000 60000 70000
Company2 50000 40000 45000 43000
Company3 60000 90000 60000 45000
Company4 64000 55000 70000 80000
Company5 80000 30000 24000 70000



And here's my code. What am I doing wrong?:
