    storing data into an array

    I want to store 15 names in an array! but it doesn't seem working correctly... anyone can figure it out ?

    The problem:
    Every time I promote the program to enter a name it will only be stored in the first position in the array. For example, when I promote the program to enter 3 names then print them.. the program will only prints the last input, unlike what it supposed to do and print all inputs

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    class healthClubMaintain{
    
    private:
    	 string Al[15];
    	 string Al2[15];
    	 	 
    	 int counter,i,s;
    	
    	int classCleintName;
    	int classClientIDNumber;
    public:
    	void addClient(string);
    	void printClient();
    
    };
    
    
    void healthClubMaintain::addClient(string clientName){
    	counter=0;
    	
    	if (counter ==15){
    		cout << " STOP!";
    
    	}
    	else{
    		Al[counter]=clientName;
    		counter++;
    	}
    		
    
    }
    
    void healthClubMaintain::printClient(){
    	
    		cout<<Al[0];
    		cout <<Al[1];
    }
    
    
    
    
    int main(){
    
    int number,loop=0;
    int clientIDNumber,programNumber,approvalIDNumber,clientIDA,programNumberA;
    string clientName,programName,approvalName;
    healthClubMaintain Club;
    
    while ( loop==0){
    
    	cout<< "Select one of the following option:"<<endl;
    	cout<< "(1) Add a new client to the program"<<endl;
    	cout<< "(2) print"<<endl;
    
    	cin >> number;
    
    
    if ( number ==1 ){
    	cout << "Insert the client's name" << endl;
    	cin >> clientName;
    //	cout << "Insert a new ID" << endl;
    //	cin >>clientIDNumber;
    	Club.addClient(clientName);
    }
    
    if ( number == 2){
    	 Club.printClient();
    }
    
    }
    
    }

    In the future, it would help if you explained how it is not working. Are there compiler errors? Is it running but giving bad output? What's wrong?

    In this code, why is counter being re-set to 0 inside addClient? The counter should store how many strings have been added. You probably want a constructor for your class to initialize it.

    There are a few other strange things about your design. Make sure you start small and add only a few things at a time when coding. Also you should come up with a plan before you start. Answer design questions, like whether HealthClubMaintain should hold one client or all clients, before you dive in.

    The issue I mentioned sounds like it could be the source of the problem you described.

    May I suggest you indent a little better? Here's a good resource for learning some: http://cpwiki.sf.net/User:Elysia/Indentation
    Indentation helps others read code and helps you find bugs too!

    Outside of your DOS world, your header file is meaningless.
