Thread: Displaying Data from a Nested Structure

I am working on a program that requires a nested structure to store a departure date (day, month, year) and have declared it as such:-

Code:

struct departDate{
	int day;
	int month;
	int year;
	};

struct flightDetails{
	String flightNo;
	String departAirport;
	String arriveAirport;
	departDate date;
	String departTime;
	int seats;
	int reserved;
	double price;
	};

const int listSize = 30;  //number of records in array
int currentSize = 0;

I sort of understand the concept of nested structures and how to access structure members but in my program I don't set 'departure date' values I accept user input. I am unsure on how to store the user input. All references I have checked seem to initialise values for nested structures. I would like to ask the user only to enter one 'departure date' comprising of day, month and year as opposed to entering all three seperately. I thought the following code was correct:-

Code:

	cout<<"Enter departure date:";
	cin>>flightList[currentSize].date.day>>flightList
                [currentSize].date.month>>flightList 
                [currentSize].date.year;

but since I am having problems displaying my records on screen (fomatting of) I cannot check if this is correct.

I am trying to display date using:

Code:

void displayAllRecords()
{ //print the data from the aray of records under suitable header

	int index;

	system("cls");

	displayHeading();
	cout<<setiosflags(ios::left);

	for(index = 0; index<currentSize; index++) 
               {
                  cout<<setw(15)<<flightList[index].date.day,flightList
                  [index].date.month,flightList[index].date.year;	
	cout<<setw(15)<<flightList[index].departTime;

When I display records on screen only the day of depature date is displayed.

Its one problem after another for us programming newbies!!

Any help would be gratefully appreciated

p.s. Prelude - thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
