Thread: C++ program in need of help!?

chinesebarbie - your getinput function still has no return value as it is a void function. Please re-read the code I wrote earlier and try to understand how values are passed in it before modifying yours again.


As for:

If for whatever reason your code has sloppy indentation, you should fix it when posting it for others to read.

No matter how right you are - The OP is clearly a complete novice, please give him a chance to get his code working before slapping him down over the niceties of whitespace conventions, his code isn't that hard to read! A polite suggestion at the end of the thread (after helping him) would be a better approach than diving in half way through with criticism.

Easy guys! I just wanted to make clear how hard it is for us to try and help if the code sample given is so difficult to read (which it is if all the blocks are put next to each other without any spacing). Surely I didn't want to start a fight over coding style best practices!

Also - have a look at this tutorial and numbers 10 and 11 that follow it. They will help you to understand what I was trying to tell you. Best of luck.

Brain_of_Bozeat - Thanks, for the link. I spent the last couple hours watching videos ,and I think I have a better understanding of what you where trying to tell me.

My new question is can you convert a double variable into a double array?

I'm not sure that I understand what you are trying to do now. Please explain clearly what you are trying to do and why and I will try to help.
(it may be that you need to watch more of bucky's videos).

Yes..but the OP refuses to try fixing it ..

Code:

for(int counter = 1; counter < size ; counter++)
{
        if( array [counter] < lowest)
            lowest = array [counter];
return lowest;
}
