why this loop?

angrybeaver76 (21)
I have a project I'm working on that's got several parts to it. I'm only including the first parts on this post (for now). It involves reading a file of 30 student ID's and numerical test scores, getting the average and calculating the letter grade. I can't figure out why it's crashing. Any insight would be great. Thanks in advance!

    int num, target, ids[idx], scores[idx], p = 0, percent;


I highlighted potential problems. First, ids and scores should be declared as an array with a size of 30. C++ requires it be a constant value (obviously you're compiler is letting you slide (if you turned on extra warnings or strict C++, you would have likely caught that mistake)). Next, even though you shouldn't be able to create arrays like this, let's assume you're allowed to. idx isn't initialized to anything so for all we know it could be 0, 10,000, or -435. -435 is bad since you can't allocate negative memory (if you don't understand that, just understand arrays need to be an int > 0). You can have an array of size 0, but I believe it just points to NULL then (not positive, never tried/tested it). As soon as you go to write to those arrays, assuming the value of idx wasn't a valid value to declare an array size, your program will crash.

Fix that and see where that gets you.
angrybeaver76 (21)
ok thanks! Let me try to fix these and see what happens.
moorecm (1932)
Not sure but I will say that by line 46, s = 31. Also, avg is being calculated with integral division.
coder777 (8443)
on line 30 you read 31 lines due to the <=

if inFile cannot be opened it is likely that numofstudents remains 0 and that will cause a crash
Volatile Pulse (1543)
Looking through your code, your arrays aren't ever used. You don't store the information from the file in them, and you don't even use them for calculations. I don't see the purpose of them in your code (however, it's more beneficial for you to use them than not). Also, this logic //read file and get average and this //read file, generate letter grade and create new file are illogical. File streams take up a decent chunk of processing power (negligible in this example, but nonetheless better to avoid constant read/writes unless necessary) so it's best to open and read once, close, then play with the information.

As moorecm said, you need to do at least float division if you want something other than a whole number back as your average. Your best bet is to do a type cast since neither of the variables in the division are floating types.

I'm hoping you plan on actually using your functions, because they aren't being used in your code (from what I can see) and seem like a waste of decent code if not. I didn't thoroughly look over them, but they don't look wrong, they just don't look good, to me anyways. It looks like a simple bubble sort. Only thing that might cause you an issue is the else break; line.
angrybeaver76 (21)
Here's what I got so far. I was able to get it to run. I have MAXSTUDENTS as a constant to 30 which I assign as the size indicator to all the arrays. Is that ok? I added a couple of cout statements to verify, but I'll have to remove them when the whole project is complete. My compiler is allowing this to run and I got the results I needed, but I want to write it correctly. idx is declared and then initialized to 0 in the for loop. If this is ok, then I will jump to the next portion involving searching and sorting through the file.

Oops I'm just seeing a couple of your other replies guys. Let me look through this again.
angrybeaver76 (21)
By the way, the arrays are being used further down in the program which I haven't included here yet. I was just tackling each step one by one for now.
moorecm (1932)
My compiler is allowing this to run and I got the results I needed, but I want to write it correctly.


I hope the result that you got was 3.76666... Use a calculator on the 30 numbers and see for yourself.

You'll want to do the division using doubles:

1
2
3
4
5
 
double count = 30;
double total;
// populate total
// ...
double avg = total/count;



As moorecm said, you need to do at least float division if you want something other than a whole number back as your average. Your best bet is to do a type cast since neither of the variables in the division are floating types.


Casting is another option but I strongly recommended avoiding casts whenever possible. In this case, I'd just change the type.

PART 1:
I'm splitting my program in 2 posts cause it won't let me paste it in one. It's ok that the average is a whole number. I don't necessarily need to type cast it. I finally got the file to save correctly to the arrays, but now I need to run the menu. Starting with #1 - a sort function. I'm new to sort. I was given this insertionSort template to use. I tried to run #1, but although it looks like the ID's get sorted, the other columns print out garbage. what am I missing?

It's because you're only sorting the id array. All of the other arrays aren't going to get modified because you do nothing to rearrange them. In order to make this work properly, you have two choices. Create an object that contains all of the required properties that you need, or pass every array and modify them together. The first would require a small rework of somethings, but is overall easy. The second would result in you having multiple parameters and having to move a lot of information at one. Your sort function would grow a little larger (due to extra variables).

You mentioned the rest of the values are junk. Did you mean they didn't line up properly with the ids anymore (if so, check last paragraph for the fix)? Or did you mean that you're getting incoherent values for each of them (as if some random values were placed there, not the ones that should be there)?

Any other problems you're having?

This is what I'm getting as it is currently for option #1:

1000 T C 3 C
1001 h o 9 A
1002 e f 3 C
1003 o f 2 F

I have no idea where the values in column 2 and 3 are coming from. That's the junk I was referring to. The 4th and 5th column look like they do in the original file, they just aren't sorting. I'll have to figure out how to sort the other columns.

I'm not sure how you're getting the right values at all to be honest. Looking at your code (which is pretty unorganized) it looks like you open your first infile, read everything from it into temp variables, then close it. Then you open the outfile and write to it from your variables. Only this time, you use the arrays, not the original variables for infile. I don't think this requires a rewrite, but it does require a severe re-evaluation. Make sure you understand exactly what your code is doing and make sure you can justify what's going on.

Edit: Does line 92: cout << ids[idx] << fname[idx] << lname[idx] << scores[idx] << grades[idx] << endl; give you all of the expected results? If not, see above.

I haven't even looked at that menu option yet. The code below the menu is not final yet. I'm working one menu option at a time. I'm still stuck on #1 to sort everything by ID. That's the one I want to get right first, then continue down to #2. I know the rest doesn't work right yet. For the life of me I can't understand sort and this thing is due tomorrow. I've been banging my head against a wall all week. :)

Where I'm stuck now is lines 105 to 127 where menu option #1 runs. I'm getting this error now: no match for 'operator>>' in 'sortedId >> sortids[idx]'
and no match for 'operator>>' in 'sortedId>> sortids[idx]'
when I try to save the sorted ID's to an array and then compare that array to the Id array in the NEWFILENAME text file. don't understand why.
