Hello,

I have one type of error message that I can't figure out. I'm using Visual C++ to compile my code. Error Message: error C2228: left of '.code' must have class/struct/union type.

This error appears 17 times in each instance I have a member of my struct in a part of my program (i.e. code, hours, gpa). The requirements for this program are as follows..

Find the average and highest number of hours completed, lowest and highest GPA, the associated codes for each as well as the number of students with passing GPA (2.0 or better) in a class of not more than 20 students. After all input is entered the student IDs Hours, and GPA must be output for each student. The ID and GPA of each student exceeding the average GPA must be output along with highest and lowest GPA and associated IDs.. The students are identified by a three digit code between 100 and 999.

Constraints: A Struct must be used and instantiated by an array. Student IDs and GPAs are input from a data file. Hours and names must be input from the screen. No Global varables may be used. A function must exist to determine the highest and lowest GPAs and associated codes.

I'm thinking I may be having problems not only with my structure, but with my file use as well. Any help would be much appreciated!! Hopefully I'm not over my limit on characters here...THANKS :-)

You defined student as a two-dimensional array of STU's, so so access/modify one of the students you'll have to do -

student[0][0].code;

Where student[0][0] is the one you're accessing.
