Thread: program working perfectly, but array is giving me a little problem

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	const int nos_emp=5;
	double hours1[nos_emp];
	double payrate1[nos_emp];
	int budget1;
	double result1;
	//const double payrate1[3] = {25.50, 35.75, 50.00};

	cout<<"Please Enter Your Budget:";
	cin>>budget1;
	result1=0;
	for(int i=1;i<nos_emp;i++)
	{
		cout<<"Please Enter Hours Worked By Employee :"<<i<<" : ";
		cin>>hours1[i];
		cout<<"Please Enter Hourly Pay Rate For Employee :"<<i<<" : ";
		cin>>payrate1[i];
		result1=result1+(hours1[i]*payrate1[i]);
	}
	cout<<"Result is "<<result1;
	if (result1>budget1)
		cout<<"\nYou are over budget By "<<result1-budget1;
	else if (result1==budget1)
			cout<<"\nYoy are exact at budget";
	else if (result1<budget1)
			cout<<"\nYou are under budget by "<<budget1-result1<<endl;
	return 0;
}

//const double payrate1[3] = {25.50, 35.75, 50.00};
just trying to make that work

please help me out
thank you

You cannot not initialize arrays at runtime, unless they are dynamic arrays.

Code:

int main()
{
   int x = 3;
   int y[x]; //Will not work
}

int main()
{
   int x = 3;
   int* y = new int[x]; //Will work, but DO NOT forget to free the memory
   delete [] y; //free the memory in the y array
}

Hope that helps
