    C++ Help

    I have written the code and is trying to fix it to display the values entered into an inventory array. I am really stuck, can someone please see if you can help me out:


    #include <iostream>
    using std::cout;
    using std::endl;

    int main()
    {
    int j;
    int n[10] = {12, 45, 23, 89, 56, 23, 12, 44, 77, 54};
    for (j = 1; j <= 10; j++)
    cout << “Inventory Item # “ << j << “ has “ << n[j] << “ items remaining.” << endl;

    return 0;
    }

    Thanks

    Null terminate:
    Code:
    int n[11] = {12, 45, 23, 89, 56, 23, 12, 44, 77, 54};
    n[11] = NULL

    just start the for loop at 0, like this:

    Code:
    for (j = 0; j < 10; j++)
       cout << “Inventory Item # “ << j << “ has “ << n[j] << “ items remaining.” << endl;

    In an array of 10 integers, the first number is stored in element 0, and thus the last is stored in 9. So that's why your loop needs to look like:

    Code:
    for (j = 0; j < 10; j++) {...}
