    Not sure where the mistake is coming from?

    Copied exactly from the book:

    Code:
    #include<iostream>
    #include<iomanip>
    #include<array>
    using namespace std;
    
    
    int main(){
        
        const size_t responseSize{20};
        const size_t frequencySize{6};
        
        const array<unsigned int, responseSize> responses{1, 2, 5, 4, 3, 5, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4, 3,3, 3, 2,3, 3, 2,2, 5};
        
        array<unsigned int, frequencySize> frequency{};
        
        for (size_t answer{0}; answer < responses.size(); ++answer){
            ++frequency[responses[answer]];
        }
        
        cout << "Rating"  << setw(12)  << "Frequency"  << endl;
        
        for (size_t rating {1}; rating < frequency.size(); ++rating){
            cout << setw(6)  << rating  << sets(12)  << frequency[rating]  << endl;
        }
        
    }
    Says setw is not given a value or something. As you can see...

    What is the exact error message?

    I can't tell because I reconfigured codeblocks without knowing what I exactly did. Meaning the error box is gone and I can't put it back where it used to be.

    F2 closes and opens the log windows in Code::Blocks if I recall correctly.

    Yes, I did a brief google search and had logs unchecked.

    Is "sets(12)" supposed to be "setw(12)"

    Ok, so you fixed an error, but you're still having an error now. What is your current code and the exact error message?

    Don't just say "still didn't work" without providing such an update, otherwise I'll just retort "then fix it!"

    No, baby please! I found the error and I fixed it and now the code is working the way it should.

    Code:
    #include<iostream>
    #include<iomanip>
    #include<array>
    using namespace std;
    
    
    int main(){
    
    
        const size_t responseSize{20};
        const size_t frequencySize{6};
    
    
        const array<unsigned int, responseSize> responses{1, 2, 5, 4, 3, 5, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4, 3,3, 3, 2,3, 3, 2,2, 5};
    
    
        array<unsigned int, frequencySize> frequency{};
    
    
        for (size_t answer{0}; answer < responses.size(); ++answer){
            ++frequency[responses[answer]];
        }
    
    
        cout << "Rating"  << setw(12)  << "Frequency"  << endl;
    
    
        for (size_t rating {1}; rating < frequency.size(); ++rating){
            cout << setw(6)  << rating  << setw(12)  << frequency[rating]  << endl;
        }
    
    
    }
