Challenge problem: Where are the two errors???

Thankee very much!

First error: You posted a C++ question in a C forum.
Second error: Your code uses deprecated header files.
Bonus error: You didn't tell us what kind of error to look out for.

[benjamin923]

lol - at least you know that i'm no expert.
thanks for taking a look anyways.

What's the prize?

If there is no actual prize, it's just a pathetic attempt to solicit special interest in your post.

[MacGyver]

Extra Bonus error: You're posting multiple topics about the same thing.

[zacs7]

Plus you're posting it in the wrong place each time!
Ding ding ding!

In

powell_data.open("lake_powell.dat",ios::in);

the filename is wrong.

This made me laugh.

This made me laugh.

Kids trying to get us to do their homework are morons because this kind of crap will bite them later on when they're unable to do a single thing during the tests. It gets even better if they get a degree for which they don't have the associated knowledge.

I'm preaching to the choir, I know, but I'm hoping that the OP actually reads this if I mention it this way.

I totally agree. I've run across programmers at places I've worked (VB .NET programmers to be precise) and they were total idiots. The software crashed constantly because they didn't account for typos in certain fields (like text boxes expecting numbers and you hit a letter - CRASH!).

Edit: After a quick compile, I'll offer the suggestion that you check your variables and the scope they are used in.

I highly doubt that many individuals looking for a quick homework solution are going to be programming as a profession. Moreso, most are simply trying to get through the course, get the credit for it and put the misery behind them. We're geeks and freaks (and old men with nothing better to do) who actually like programming, but for many taking the course it's almost as distastful to them as gym class.

Well the only other field I can think of that would require this is engineering. And if he can't handle this, he probably will have a hard time with engineering as well. For other degrees I can't imagine the language they force on them is C++. For my community college it was VBScript.
