Need advice classes. Had swine flu and missed school for two weeks =(

Ok, since this is my first post here I guess I better explain some things =)

Well I have had swine flu for the past two weeks and in those two weeks I missed a bunch of my C++ classes in school. Turns out we covered structures and classes in that time, which was bad for me to miss because from what I can tell they are both extremely important in C++.

I managed to do most of my homework I missed, but I'm still stuck on two problems. The first is this:

1.) Construct a class named Student consisting of an integer student ID number, an array of five double-precision grades, and an integer representing the total number of grades entered. The constructor for this class should initialize all Student data members to 0. Included in the class should be member functions to: 1.) enter a student ID number, 2.) enter a single test grade and update the total number of grades entered, and 3.) compute an average grade and display the student ID followed by the average grade.

so far for this problem I have:

Code:

---


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

class Student
{
        private:
                int id_number;
                double grade[5];
                int count;
                double average;
        public:
                int enterID();
                void enterGrade();
                void display();
};

Student::enterID()
{
        std::cout << "Enter student ID number: ";
        cin >> xx;
        id_number = xx;
       
        return;
}

Student::enterGrade()
{
        std::cout << "Enter a grade: ";
        for (count = 0; count < 5; count++)
        {
                cin >> grade[count];
        }
        return;
}

Student::display();
{
        for (count = 0; count < 5; count++)
        {
                average += grade[i];
                if (count = 5)
                        average = (average / 5);
        }
       
        std::cout << "Student ID: " << id_number << std::endl;
        std::cout << "Average: " << average << std:: endl;

return;
}

int main()
{
        int i = 0;
       
        Student a;
       
        for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
        {
                a.enterID();
                a.enterGrade();
                a.display();
        }
return 0;
}

and obtaining these errors when compiling it:

Code:

Can anyone tell me whats wrong and what I'm missing? Or at least point me in the right direction?

Thank you so much.

(I'll post the structures problem after I find my source file lol)

Your modified code

Code:

---

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

using namespace std;

class Student
{
private:
  int id_number;
  double grade[5];
  int count;
  double average;
public:
  void enterID();
  void enterGrade();
  void display();
};

void Student::enterID()
{
  int xx = 0;
  std::cout << "Enter student ID number: ";
  cin >> xx;
  id_number = xx;

  return ;
}

void Student::enterGrade()
{
  std::cout << "Enter a grade: ";
  for (count = 0; count < 5; count++)
    {
      cin >> grade[count];
    }
  return;
}

void Student::display()
{
  for (int count = 0; count < 5; count++)
    {
      average += grade[count];
      if (count = 5)
        average = (average / 5);
    }

  std::cout << "Student ID: " << id_number << std::endl;
  std::cout << "Average: " << average << std:: endl;

  return;
}

int main()
{
  int i = 0;

  Student a;

  for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    {
      a.enterID();
      a.enterGrade();
      a.display();
    }
  return 0;
}

If you were having swine flu its very bad to hear that if not please don't try to fool the forum members to take help

Thank you so much. That works.

Can you also explain to me what this part of the problem means?:

...The constructor for this class should initialize all Student data members to 0...

And yeah I did have swine flu and it sucked hard haha. I tried to do school work when I could because there would be like 2-4 hours a day I would feel better and think I was ok, then I'd just crash again. Haha.

in the default constructor with the initializer list just pass 0 to all the student data variables

Meanwhile, you did his homework-- that makes a lot of sense.
