Thread: int array isn't storing proper values.

This is my code, I stripped it down to make it easier to help.

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void showTemps(int[], int);

int main()
{
    int temp[10] = {32, 24, 29, 41, 60, 
                    67, 78, 88, 93, 102};
    int date[10] = {010106 , 012506 , 022006 , 031206 , 040706 , 042706 , 051506 , 060106 , 062706 , 072506};
               
                    
    int inputDate = 0;
    int counter = 0;
    
    cout << "Please input date(mmddyy): ";
    cin >> inputDate;
    
    showTemps(date, 10);
    cin >> inputDate;
    return 0;
}

void showTemps(int nums[], int size)
{
     for (int index = 0; index < size; index++)
         cout << nums[index] << endl;
}

so, it should output the numbers in the date array, right?
THis is what I get:
4166
5446
9222
12934
16838
17862
21318
24646
26054
30022

Also, it got upset with certain numbers when I was trying to put them into the array. such as 012906 wouldn't work, while 012506 will.

Code:

010106

Numbers prefixed with 0 in C and C++ are octal numbers. And you can't store a leading zero in any case. The best way to store something like that is to use a string.
