Thread: run time error?

Hi,

I wrote the following program which can be compiled and built in Visual C++ compiler. However, it returned an error when I run the exe file.

Anyone could help?

Thanks

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cctype>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
const int MAX = 10;
string name[MAX] = {0};
int mark[MAX] = {0};
int count = 0;
int sum = 0;
float average = 0;
char finish = 'n';

do
{
cout << "Enter your name : ";
cin >> name[count++];

cout << endl;

cout << "Enter your mark : ";
cin >> mark[count++];

sum += mark[count++];

cout << endl;

cout << "Do you want to add more ? ";

cin >> finish;

} while (tolower(finish)=='y' && (count < MAX));

average = sum / count;

cout << endl;

cout << "The average mark is : " << average << ".\n";

cout << endl;

cout << "Student Name" << setw(5) << "Marks";

cout << "____________" << setw(5) << "_____";

cout << endl;

cout << endl;

for (int i=0; i< count; i++)

cout << name[i] << setw(8) << mark[i] << endl;

return 0;

}

In the do-loop you increment count 3 times at once, the name and mark won't fit together anymore and you will overrun the boundaries of your arrays.

Instead of three times count++ only have it once and use count without any plusses afterwards in the one loop.

Thanks for both of your help and there is no error during run time now.

I want to add a validation of mark in-between 0-100. I added the if...else condition, but it cannot validate the mark.

What's wrong with my code?

Thanks a lot.

if ((mark[count] < 0) || (mark[count] > 100)) // don't know how to fix it?
{
cout << "PLs re-enter : " << endl;
cin >> mark[count];
}
else
{
cin >> mark[count];
sum += mark[count++];
}

cout << endl;

cout << "Do you want to add more ? " << endl;

cin >> finish;

} while (tolower(finish)=='y' && (count < MAX));

average = sum / count;

cout << endl;

cout << "The average mark is : " << average << ".\n";

cout << endl;

cout << "Student Name" << setw(20) << "Marks" << endl;

cout << "____________" << setw(20) << "_____" ;

cout << endl;

cout << endl;

for (int i=0; i< count; i++)

cout << name[i] << setw(30) << mark[i] << endl;

return 0;

}

Thanks a lot. Yes, the while loop is better as it can check until it is valid. And I made a mistake to put cin in the wrong place.

Thanks for help.
