Thread: Unscramble This Code

Code:

#include <iostream>
		}
		current = current->next;
		i++;
#include <cstdlib> 
	float highest = -10000;
	string name;
}

void printHighest(player* head)
		{
			current->next = NULL;
		}
		else
	int i = 0;
	while( i < 10 )
	{
{

using namespace std;
		cout << "Setup player: " << current->name << " with average: " << current->average << endl;
	cout << current->name << endl;
		
	while (current->next != NULL)
	{
		if (i == 9)
struct player{
	string name;
		}
		current = current->next;
	}
	float average;
	player* next;
};
	player* current = head;

		
		{

			name = current->name;
}
			cout << "Player: " << current->name << " has taken over as highest" << endl;
			highest = current->average;
	printHighest(head);
		{
			current->next = new player;
	return 0;
void printHighest(player* head);
cout << "Highest average is: " << name << endl;	
	player* head = new player;
player* current = head;
		current->name = playerNames[i];
		current->average = rand()%777;
cout << "current->average is : " << current->average << endl;
		if(current->average > highest)
int main(void)
{
	string playerNames[] = {"mike","tom","derek","justin","brad","bob","jimbob","clemens","sarah","billy","jackson","hwee"};
			}

im so confused, basically have to define a struct that stores name and average. create a linked list, a function that takes head of hte list and prints the name with highest average. Any and all help is greatly appreciated, this scramble of code is confusing lol

Wait, you're trying to say that this is a homework exercise where the lines of a working program were scrambled and you are supposed to unscramble them?

You clearly haven't made any effort of your own yet. Do as much as you can before posting here.
You can at least make sure that both #includes are at the top, probably followed by any using statement.

Make no mistake, you're the one doing the assignment, we'll only give you a few nudges along the way.
Repost your best guess as to how it should go. Spend at least 30 minutes on it too, don't give up after 5.

The next thing you need is a function to add a player to the list. IMO, it is a mistake to have written "printHighest" first, because there is no way for you to use it without a populated list.

Probably it is not necessary to create a new player struct in main() for the head, see below.

Do you know how to write classes yet? The list might be easier to manage that way. If not, don't worry. Just write an "addPlayer" function that has a prototype something like this:

Code:

player *addPlayer (player *head, string &name, float average);

In this you are going to create a new player struct, set the correct values, and make it's "next" pointer the head. For the first player, submit NULL for head, ie, you have a loop in main that looks like this:

Code:

player *head = NULL;

while ([more players to insert) {
     head = addplayer(head, ..., ...);
}

You seem to have lost a few lines. Put those in there even if they are all just at the end so that we can see which lines still need to be added in.

One of the main things to fix at the moment is that you can't have a function inside a function.
