Thread: this project - functions and arrays - getting few errors

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

void getinput (int &grade, int &hrsworked, double finalbudget, int &employees);
void calcpay (double rate, int hrsworked, double budget, double totalbudget, double regwork);
void getdisp (int grade, int hrsworked, double totalbudget);

double grade[3] = {25.50, 35.75, 50.00};
	

int main ()
{

	double totalbudget, rate, budget;

	int grade, hrsworked;
	
	getinput (rate, hrsworked, finalbudget, employees);
	
	calcpay(rate, hrsworked, budget, totalbugdet);

	getdisp (grade, hrsworked, totalbudget);

Please help me
I am having a couple of problems when I run this...

Did you read the errors you got?

finalbudget, employees, and totalbudget are not declared as variables; hence they do not exist; hence an attempt to pass them to a function will not work. You need to declare them in main; and if you expect to set their value in a function, you need to pass them as pointers.

In calcpay, you attempt to multiply an array by a number, which is not valid. (And I'm not sure what you're trying to calculate there, so I don't know what it's supposed to be.)

how would i do that
could you please me....

How did I find the errors? I read the output of my compiler.

How would you declare variables? You declared all the other variables you use; declare finalbudget, employees, and totalbudget the same way. You're passing everything else to getInput as a pointer; pass finalbudget the same way.

I don't know what your logic is supposed to look like, so I can't say what you're supposed to be doing in calcpay.

what were you sayin about the array thing

grade is defined as an array, but in your calcpay function you attempt to multiply it by budget.

And of course, everywhere in this thread I said "pass by pointers" of course I meant "pass by reference". C++ board. Right. Sorry.

No, I have that grade array as a const...
and trying to define that in dispinput...

so in the grade if u enter 1...
the grade value would be 25.50

Look at this line in calcpay:

Code:

	totalbudget = (grade * budget) - finalbudget;

grade is an array. It is, as you mentioned, a const array, but it is an array all the same. You cannot multiply an array by a number (or by anything, for that matter).

If you want a specific value from that array, you need to index it. The first element is grade[0], the second grade[1], and the third grade[2].

so you are saying on the top I should just put it like this


double grade[0] = 25.50;
double grade[1] = 35.75;
double grade[2] = 50.00;

I am saying nothing of the sort. You need to have arrays beaten into your head, so go here and read up and take the quiz. We'll still be here when you're done. (This will also help in your other thread.)
