Seating Program

The compiler says...

initializer string for array of characters is too long---line 30
non-|value in assignment---line 32
parse error before string constant

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fstream.h>

#define MAX 6
#define MAXLENGTH 8
#define MAXDAYS 7
#define DAYLENGTH 9

void seatarrange();

int main()
{
      seatarrange();
      system("PAUSE");
      return 0;
}
void seatarrange()
{
    int time;
    int turn;
    char seat[MAX][MAXLENGTH]={0};
    char day[MAXDAYS][DAYLENGTH]={
                                "Monday" ,
                                "Tuesday" ,
                                "Wednesday" ,
                                "Thursday" ,
                                "Friday" ,
                                "Saturday" ,
                                "Sunday"};
    ofstream a_file("C:/Windows/Desktop/Seating.txt");
    for(turn=1 && time=1; turn <= MAX && time <= MAXDAYS; turn++)
    {
                cout << "Who is in seat "<< turn << " on " << day[time-1] <<"?"
                      << endl;
                cin >> seat[turn-1];
                cout << "Seat " << turn << " on " << day[time-1] ": "
                      << seat[turn-1]
                      << endl;
                a_file << "Seat " << turn << ": " << seat[turn-1] << "on day " << day[time-1] << endl;
      }
}

So what's up?

> char day[MAXDAYS][DAYLENGTH]={

DAYLENGTH is not long enought for "Wednesday" which is 10 including the string NULL terminator, add +1.

Code:

---

char day[MAXDAYS][DAYLENGTH+1]={

---

> for(turn=1 && time=1; turn <= MAX && time <= MAXDAYS; turn++)

change && to ,

Code:

---

for(turn=1 , time=1; turn <= MAX && time <= MAXDAYS; turn++)

---

> cout << "Seat " << turn << " on " << day[time-1] ": "

forgot one <<

Code:

---

cout << "Seat " << turn << " on " << day[time-1]  << ": "

thanks!
