It is not reading the data from the file...

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my program? It is not reading the data from the file...

Code:

//This program is....
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

	const int numrow = 20;
	const int numcol = 2;

void getts(int[][numcol], int);
void printts(int[][numcol], int);

int main()
{
	int testscores[numrow][numcol];
	
	getts(testscores, numcol);
	printts(testscores, numcol);

	return 0;
}

void getts(int testscores[][numcol], int size)
{
	ifstream inFile;

	inFile.open("practicetestscore.dat");

	for (int row=0; row < size; row++)
	{
		for (int col = 0; col < size; col++)
		inFile >> testscores[numrow][numcol]>>testscores[numrow][numcol];
	}

	inFile.close();
}

void printts(int testscores[][numcol], int size)
{
	cout <<"The testscores are:\n";
		for (int row = 0; row < size; row++)
		{
			for (int col = 0; col < size; col++)
			cout << setw(2) <<testscores[numrow][numcol] 
			<< setw(2) <<testscores[numrow][numcol] <<endl;
		}
		
		return;
}

Code:

inFile >> testscores[numrow][numcol]>>testscores[numrow][numcol];

1) This always reads to the same spot in the array - numrow & numcol are const.
2) This spot is invalid.

You have the same issue with output.

I understand, you have a point, thanks for your help...I just changed it to the following code but still not seeing the data in the file

Code:

void getts(int testscores[][numcol], int size)
{
	ifstream inFile;

	inFile.open("practicetestscore.dat");

	for (int row=0; row < size; row++)
	{
		for (int col = 0; col < size; col++)
		inFile >> testscores[numrow][0]>>testscores[numrow][1];
	}

	inFile.close();
}

I was able to get the 20 values of the first column to show now but just need the to get the values in the second column to be displayed, then I could continue adding to it.

Code:

inFile >> testscores[numrow][0]>>testscores[numrow][1];

This is still invalid. In that first dimension of the array, you have numrow slots, or 0 to numrow-1. Since numrow is constant, you're loading all your data into the same two rows in the array. You likely want just "row" there. However, your for() loop for row is incorrect - it's looping by how many columns there are, not how many rows.

the sorting function I added was:

Code:

void selectsort(int testscores[][numcol], int size)
{
	int startscan, lowindex;
		int lowts;
		
		for (startscan = 0; startscan < (size-1); startscan++)
		{
			lowindex = startscan;
			lowts = testscores[startscan][0];

			for (int index = startscan + 1; index < size; index++)
			{
				if (testscores[index][0] < lowts)
				{
					lowts=testscores[index][0];
					lowindex=index;
				}
			}
			testscores[lowindex][0]=testscores[startscan][0];
			testscores[startscan][0]=lowts;

			lowts = testscores[startscan][1];
			testscores[startscan][1] = testscores[lowindex][1];
			testscores[lowindex][1]=lowts;
		}
	printts(testscores, size);
}
