C++ Final Project... I need some help!

[GabyValedon2012]

How Can I create a Dinamic Allocation for a Movie Array?
How Can i sort a movie file by alphabetical order?

How can i edit a selected string in a file? Example:
I enter a Costumer NAme, address, city, state, zip, etc. If i want to edit only the address, what i need to do?

I appreciate your help. I am very tired of being working in this for days!!!

Post your code so we can see what you're specifically having problems with.

[Bdanielz]

are you allowed to use the standard library? also what Momo said, post your code.

[GabyValedon2012]

There is the code:

[Bdanielz]

are you allowed to use the standard library? Stacks Queues Lists?

[GabyValedon2012]

No...

These are the tasks and rules jajaja. Im very tired of working on this, I 'm about to give up :(

Problem 2. Movie Database System

Write a C++ program that uses the following structures to store the following data about a Customer:
• Name
• Address
• City, State, and ZIP
• Telephone Number
• Array of rented movies (Nested Structures)!!!

And the following data about Movie
• Title
• Year of issue
• Duration

The structures should be used to access customer records in a file. The program should have a menu that lets the user perform the following operations:

 Create new Customer record
 Enter the new record into the file.
 Search for a particular customer’s record and display it.
 Search for a particular customer’s record and delete it.
 Search for a particular customer’s record and change it.
 Display the contents of the entire file.
 Sort the content of the entire file according to customer name and display it.
 Exit

[Bdanielz]

Do you have a text file that was given?

[GabyValedon2012]

No. All files are created by the program.

[Bdanielz]

So what is the last thing you specifically stuck on? Is there a function that was not working the right way as you were coding it? Give us a specific way we can help you.

[GabyValedon2012]

OK!

I need to make an array with dynamic memory for movies input on the file. Also organize them alphabetically when the user chooses user info.

I need to put all costumer info in a file and when i prompt to show then the output need to be alphabetically too.

I think thats all. Ive been triyng for days...

[Bdanielz]

ok here is an simple dynamic array of your movie struct based on
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/dynamic/

#include <iostream>
#include <new>
using namespace std;

struct movies
{
    string name;
    string duration;
    string year;
};

int main ()
{
    int i,n;
    movies * p;
    cout << "How many movies do you want to enter ";
    cin >> i;
    p= new (nothrow) movies[i];
    if (p == nullptr)
        cout << "Error: memory could not be allocated";
    else
    {
        for (n=0; n<i; n++)
        {
            cout << "Enter movie name: ";
            cin >> p[n].name;
            cout << "Enter movie duration: ";
            cin >> p[n].duration;
            cout << "Enter movie year: ";
            cin >> p[n].year;
            
        }
        cout << "You have entered: ";
        
        for (n=0; n<i; n++)
        {
            cout << " Movie name: " << p[n].name << endl;
            cout << " Movie duration: " << p[n].duration << endl;
            cout << " Movie year: " << p[n].duration << endl;
            
        }

        delete [] p;

    return 0;
    }
}

see if you can integrate that into your code and let us know what you get stuck on.

For sorting alphabetically:

Bubblesort sorting strategy
 decide on desired sorting order (ascending or descending)
 perform the following
1) move through the list comparing adjacent values
2) if adjacent values are out of desired order, interchange them
3) when a complete pass through the list has been made, the smallest
(largest) value will have "bubbled" to its proper location
4) repeat steps 1 and 3 ignoring the already sorted values (requires length-1
passes through the list)

void bubblesort(int list[ ],int count)
// Sort an array of integers into descending order.
// Parameters:
// list – array of integers to be sorted
// count – (integer) number of values in the array
// Value passed back: sorted list
{
 int temp; //place holder when values are interchanged
 for (int i=0; i < count-1; i++)
 for (int j=0; j < count-(i+1); j++)
 if (list[j] < list[j+1])
 {
 temp = list[j];
 list[j] = list[j+1];
 list[j+1] = temp;
 }
} 

Conversion to an ascending sort
change relational operator in the if statement to > (greater than) to find the
largest value of the list on each iteration

Modifying the function to sort an array of non-integers
 change the data type of the array to be sorted
 change the data type of temp to match the data type of the elements in the
array
 make sure the appropriate comparison is made with the proper relational
operator in the if statement for an ascending or descending sort (compare
whatever value is the basis for the sorting)

Hey Guys thanxx for the support... Now i have another doubt, why my compiler skip a cin ???? im getting mad wiht my compiler.
