No operator ">>" matches these operands

[collegecompV2]

I'm making a program that basically takes a first name, last name, and a players team of ten baseball players with five stats each and putting them into a spot onto an array (for short). The problem I've been having is after changing the data type of the first name, last name and the players team to string from char because that messed with with my one of my menu options (a function) these errors popped up. I've tried everything to fix them. Getline, eof with the !, eof without the !.

The error is on line 66: infile >> list[i].firstname - it's a red line under >> saying "no operator >> matches these operands".

  #include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <cmath>
#include <string.h>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;
struct baseballPlayerdatabase
{
	string firstname[20];
	string lastname[20];
	string  playersteam[50];
	int numberofhomers, runsbattedin;
	double battingaverage;
};
void menu(ifstream& infile, baseballPlayerdatabase list[]); //brings out the menu
void getData(ifstream& infile, baseballPlayerdatabase list[]); //puts txt data into right structure members
void searchforaplayer(baseballPlayerdatabase list[]); //gets name,searches for their data,prints it out
void searchspecificteam(baseballPlayerdatabase list[]); //gets team, searches everything,prints anything relatable
void viewData(ifstream& infile, baseballPlayerdatabase list[]); //lets user see all baseball data

int main()
{
	char response;
	baseballPlayerdatabase list[10]; //declares the array
	ifstream infile; // declares variable to read the file
	infile.open("Playerdata.txt"); // opens txt file
	getData(infile, list); // function to put txt data into structure-array members
	cout << "Would you like to run the Baseball data program?(y/n):";
	cin >> response;
	cout << endl;
	if (response == 'y') { menu(infile, list); }
	else
	{
		cout << "Thanks for trying the baseball database program!" << endl;
	}
	return 0;
}

void menu(ifstream & infile, baseballPlayerdatabase list[])

	for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
	{

			>> list[i].playersteam
			>> list[i].numberofhomers

	}
}

void viewData(ifstream& infile, baseballPlayerdatabase list[])
{
	char response;
	cout << " " << "Name" << " " << "Team" << " " << "Homers" << " " << "RBI" << " " << "BattingAverage" << endl;

	for (int x = 0; x < 10; x++)
	{

	}

	}
}

void searchforaplayer(baseballPlayerdatabase list[])
{
	string name;
	int y;
	cout << "Enter the last name of a player: ";
	cin >> name;
	for (y = 0; y < 10; y++)
	{
		if (list[y].lastname = name)
		{
			cout << list[y].lastname << list[y].playersteam << list[y].numberofhomers << list[y].runsbattedin << list[y].battingaverage << endl;
		}
	}
}
void searchspecificteam(baseballPlayerdatabase list[])
{
	string name;
	cout << "Enter the name of the team: ";
	cin >> name;
	if (list[1].playersteam = name)
	{
		cout << list[1].firstname << list[1].lastname << list[1].playersteam << list[1].numberofhomers << list[1].runsbattedin << list[1].battingaverage << endl;
	}
}

I know that I've got more errors but I have a feeling that if I have fix this one, the others will go away as well.

hiya.
Does a baseballPlayerdatabase contain all the information? it looks like you just want to pass the database object into your functions like this for example:

void searchforaplayer(baseballPlayerdatabase databaseObj)
rather than this:
void searchforaplayer(baseballPlayerdatabase list[])

and then in the function you can search your lists inside your db object for the required string(s).

I don't think you want firstname, lastname and playersteam to be arrays.

[mutexe]

indeed. OP you either want a collection of baseballPlayerdatabase objects containsing existing variables (but not arrays), OR a single baseballPlayerdatabase object containing relevant collections of data.
