hai guys help on 2-dim arrays

so i do loop for ex:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>

using namespace std;
const int number_of_rows=40;

void empinfo(char empname[][30],unsigned int hours[][30],float moneydata[][6],int x, int counter);
int main()
{
	char empname[30][30];
	unsigned int hours[30][30];
	float moneydata[30][6];
	int x= 30;
	int counter = 0;
	char choice;
	char answer;


	cout<<"Welcome to the Payroll Report for the week! \n";
	cout<<"Please be sure to enter the information accurately. \n";
	cout<<" You will be promted with the following \n";
			
	cout<<"\nEmployee's Name: \n";
	cout<<"Amount of Hours of each workday: \n" ;
	cout<<"Emplyee's Rate(wage per hour): \n";
	cout<<"Amount of Dependents: \n";
	cout<<"Healthplan( Y or N): \n";
	cout<<"Are there more employees(Y or N)?\n";

	cout<<"Would you like to continue?( Y or N)\n";
	cin>>choice;

	switch(choice)
	{
		case 'Y':
		case 'y':
			do
			{
				counter++;
				empinfo(empname,hours,moneydata,x, counter);
				cout<<"Are there more employees?(Y or N) \n";
				cin>>answer;
			}while(answer='Y');


	
	return 0;
	}
}
void empinfo(char empname[][30],unsigned int hours[][30],float moneydata[][6],int x, int counter)
{
	
	cout<<"Employee's Name: \n";
	cin.clear();
	int stack;
	cout<<stack + 1<<endl;
	
	do
	{
	for(int j=0;j<stack;j++)
	{
		cin.get(empname[counter][j]);
		cin.ignore();
		cin.clear();
	}
	}while(stack!=0);
	cout<<"Amount of Hours Each Day: \n";
		for(int h=0;h<7;h++)
		{
			if(h>7)
			{ 
				cout<<"Please only enter a 7 day schedule \n";
				cin>>hours[h][30];
			}
		}
	cout<<"Employee's Rate: \n";
		for(int r=0;r<counter;r++)
		{
			cin>>moneydata[r][0];
		}
}

the program works but it will only stores 1 char of the name...
so if the name is Zerlok Zerlok..only the z would be stored if i put a whole name it skips my whole program i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong..=\

Code:

cin.get(empname[counter][j]);

You ask for one character, that's all you get. If you want to get a string, you need to pass a string into cin.get. You're including <string>, why not use std::strings?

Code:

cin>>hours[h][30];

That's not the right way to get a string from the user. You're reading a single character into hours[h][30] (which is, incidentally, beyond the end of the array). What you want is more like this:

Code:

cin>>hours[h];

Code:

}while(answer='Y');

That's always true. You likely want

Code:

} while(answer == 'Y');

If you want to check for lowercase too, consider "answer == 'Y' || answer == 'y'". Or use tolower()/toupper() from <cctype>.

ahh yes i can't use string because i'm not allowed to for this assignment...
cin.getline(empname) would work?

Maybe

Code:

cin.getline(empname[counter], 30);
