Question

I am have trouble getting this code to work in VS 2010 can someone help me and show me what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

const int maxRows = 5, maxCols = 6;
void readNames(string seats[ ][maxCols]);
void display(string seats[ ][maxCols]);
void switchStudents(string seats[ ][maxCols]);

int main( )
{
int choice;
string seats[maxRows][maxCols];
readNames(seats);
bool finished = false;
cout << "Seating Chart Program " << endl;
while (!finished)
{
cout << "1 - Display the Seating Chart" << endl;
cout << "2 - Switch 2 students" << endl;
cout << "3 - Quit" << endl << endl;

cout << "Enter your choice (1-3): ";
cin >> choice;

switch (choice)
{
case 1: display(seats); break;
case 2: switchStudents(seats); break;
case 3: finished = true; break;
default: cout << "incorrect response. Please reenter";
}
}
system("pause");
return 0;
}

void readNames(string seats[][6])
{
ifstream filein("C:\\seats.dat");
for (int row = 0; row< maxRows; row++)
for (int col = 0; col< maxCols; col++)
filein >> seats[row][col];
filein.close( );
}

void display(string seats[ ][6])
{
cout << "\n 0 1 2 3 4 5\n";
for ( int r = 0; r < maxRows; r++)
{
cout << r << " ";
for (int col = 0; col < maxCols; col++)
{
cout.width(12);
cout.setf(ios::left);
cout << seats[r][col];
}
cout << endl;
}
cout << endl << endl;
}

void switchStudents(string seats[][6])
{
int r1, c1, r2, c2;
cout << "\nEnter row & col for first student: ";
cin>> r1 >> c1;
cout << "\nEnter row & col for second student: ";
cin >> r2 >> c2;
string temp = seats[r1][c1];
seats[r1][c1] = seats[r2][c2];
seats[r2][c2] = temp;

}

Answer 2

Please use a code paste service like dpaste, pastebin, or gihub's gist. See, if I copy and paste this code to test it, the result all comes out on one line. But if you use a code paste service, it comes out fine.

Answer 3

Can you help me with this please....

Answer 4

okay here try this http://pastebin.com/kVyYcuLt

Answer 5

filein >> seats[row][col];

It does not like that use of >>

Answer 6

Probably because you don't pass an array to a function... you pass a pointer. This could make a type mismatch.

Rather than doing it as a stream, you could take in each line, parse it, and assign things.

Answer 7

so what would you recommend?

Answer 8

This talks about use of arrays in functions:

Answer 9

Can u help me?

Answer 10

What is he talking about?

Answer 11

Well, what is the seats.dat you are taking in?

Answer 12

void display(string seats[ ][6]) I don't know anything about this language, but there you appear to have a space whereas you don't where you did similar functions.. hope it helps?

Answer 13

Right before the 6 there, "seats[ ][6])" Here you have the same setup but not the same syntax "void readNames(string seats[][6])"
