error <,,.>

Can somebody tell me whats is the error?

You appear to be trying to swap the sizes of the total members of the exam objects when you probably want to swap the total members instead.

Oh, and kindly indent your code more consistently.

It helps to tell at what line the error is occuring.
And the whole indentation is a mess. How did you mess it up so badly whe Visual Studio indents for you? Let it indent for you instead of messing around with it yourself.

Line 67, according to the error message... at least that part was included, I get rather frustrated when people cut it off thinking it makes things clearer.

So it says, but I don't want to count the lines and a quick look over the horrible code didn't make anything suspicious point out. I might just have missed it.
Ah, I see it now, thanks to copying it to notepad and using goto line. It's as laserlight says. You're trying to assign a new value to a function, which is impossible.
But in the future, try to mark the line where the error occurs.

Visual Studio or any programming text editor worth its bits can give you a line count pretty quickly, methinks. The question then is whether the error message with line number given corresponds to the given source, and in this case it appears to correspond.

In effect, "I can't be bothered to help."

size() is self-maintained, and you can't swap what is a literal number here. Actually swap the object.

Yeah, but at typing time, I'm not home, so Visual Studio or some other tools are unavailable to me. Although when I thought about it, notepad worked fine.

If you want to put it that way, fine. But it's also my free time, and I'm doing for free, so I'm not obligated to go to extreme lengths, if I feel it is so, to help. A little more from the who who needs help doesn't hurt.

Keeping quiet would have also been a decent alternative, since you really had nothing other than that to say, and the fact that it had been mentioned before.

so...the error? how to make a correction?

I did point out two other things - namely it's more helpful to point out where the error is and using Visual Studio to indent for you instead of manually.
And I'm not overzealous like some other members who think that it should be made a rule not to reply on posts that aren't helpful in describing the problem.

I think you've been told. You shouldn't swap the "size." You should swap the total member instead. The object.

I love you too.

With g++, I get:
t.cpp:67: error: non-lvalue in assignment
t.cpp:68: error: non-lvalue in assignment
Lines 67 and 68 are these:

Code:

                    exams.at(i).total.size() = exams.at(i).total.size()+1;
                    exams.at(i).total.size()+1 = temp;

As was mentioned before, I don't think the size() is what you want to use here.

or ... may be size() is supposed to return a reference?

No, that's the size() of the vector standard class.
