Hi,


Code won't compile


Always post your compile errors (copy & paste) here - it saves us having to do it.

On lines 102 & 109 your for loops will cause the first element in sList to be missed, and an over run of the array, because arrays start at 0. The normal idiom for a a for loop is:

1
2
3
4
 
for (i = 0; i < listSize; i++) {
  // your code here

}


You are probably missing braces for your for loops - always use them even if there is 1 LOC. This applies to any statement that can have a compound statement (statements in braces), such as if- then-else, while, switch etc.

Don't have line 6 - Google to see why , and what to do instead.

Hope all is well.

Here is the updated errors:

Hi,

The errors / warnings are quite clear:

score was never assigned a value. Do you need to extract that value out of the array?

The function highestScore is declared to return an int but it never does.

The for loop on line 104 still starts with 1 not zero.

I would add more braces, especially in the calculateGrade function - as I said earlier, use braces even if there is only 1 line of code:

void calculateGrade(studentType sList[], int listSize)
{
  int score;
  for (int i = 0; i < listSize; i++)  { 
	if (score >= 90)  {
		sList[i].testScore = 'A'; 
        } 
	else if (score >= 80)  {
		sList[i].testScore = 'B'; 
        } 
	else if (score >= 70)  {
	   sList[i].testScore = 'C';  
        }
	else if (score >= 60)  {
		sList[i].testScore = 'D';
        }
	else  {
	  sList[i].testScore = 'F';
        }
  }
}


It would also be good if you improved the indentation - your IDE should do it automatically, and you can force it to tidy things up.

Hope all is well :+)

Line 106 calls a function highestScore that has been declared on line 22. However, there is no implementation for that function. There is a different function, an overload, on lines 87-101.

In other words, the
int highestScore(const studentType sList[], int listSize)
is not the same as
int highestScore(const studentType sList[], int scores[], int listSize)

You have to either implement the function that printResult calls, or make the printResult to call the already implemented function.

Now I get this.
error C2660: 'highestScore' : function does not take 2 arguments
keskiverto (10402)
Of course. Now the declaration and implementation refer to the same highestScore function. The one that takes 3 arguments. However, the line that calls highestScore has not changed and that line uses only two arguments: sList and listSize.

Now you have to edit the printResult.
Thanase (50)
Was this the change that I should have made?

void printResult(ofstream& outFile, const studentType sList[], int scores[], int listSize)
{
int maxScore = highestScore(sList, listSize);


Because I still get the same error, and listsize on line 3 in this little snippet of code here is underlined.

How many arguments do you have in the call of highestScore on that line 3?
What arguments should you have on that call?
