One More Homework Problem

Okay, so I have one more set of code I need some help on. How I got this far without smashing my skull into a monitor I still have no idea :D

I get this error when compiling:

D:\Jen\School\Jen_Tonon_assignment3.cpp In function `int main()':
D:\Jen\School\Jen_Tonon_assignment3.cpp no match for 'operator<<' in 'abovebelow1 << std::endl'
D:\Jen\School\Jen_Tonon_assignment3.cpp no match for 'operator<<' in 'abovebelow2 << std::endl'
D:\Jen\School\Jen_Tonon_assignment3.cpp no match for 'operator<<' in 'abovebelow3 << std::endl'

D:\Jen\School\Jen_Tonon_assignment3.cpp no match for 'operator<<' in 'abovebelow5 << std::endl'

I know it's something stupidly simple that I'm missing, but any help would rock!

Change this

Code:

---

      cout << "Student Name  Attendance  Exam Score  Final Score  Above/Below Average ";
      cout << student1, attendance1, exam1, final1, abovebelow1 << endl;
      cout << student2, attendance2, exam2, final2, abovebelow2 << endl;
      cout << student3, attendance3, exam3, final3, abovebelow3 << endl;
      cout << student4, attendance4, exam4, final4, abovebelow4 << endl;
      cout << student5, attendance5, exam5, final5, abovebelow5 << endl;

---

to this

Code:

---

      cout << "Student Name  Attendance  Exam Score  Final Score  Above/Below Average ";
      cout << student1 << attendance1 << exam1 << final1 << abovebelow1 << endl;
      cout << student2 << attendance2 << exam2 << final2 << abovebelow2 << endl;
      cout << student3 << attendance3 << exam3 << final3 << abovebelow3 << endl;
      cout << student4 << attendance4 << exam4 << final4 << abovebelow4 << endl;
      cout << student5 << attendance5 << exam5 << final5 << abovebelow5 << endl;

---

Code:

---

final1 = final1 + 5;

---

->

Code:

---

final1 += 5;

---

Code:

---

      string student1;
      string student2;
      string student3;
      string student4;
      string student5;

Look into arrays.

You should indent your if statements.

And one other thing:

Code:

---

using namespace std;

---

uses everything in std. So you don't need

Code:

---

using std::string;

---

as well.

Arrays can definitely made your code more simple. So could a structure if your teacher will let you use either of them in this program.

For example (This is grayed out because you might not want this much of an answer):

...ok so they didn't have a great gray color. Just try not to read it if you don't want any answers ...and keep in mind that I am also learning myself, so my code may not be perfect, it's just some ideas for you.

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

struct studentInfo {
      string name;
      int attendance, exam, final;
      string abovebelow;
      };

int main() {
    studentInfo student[4];
    string studPos[5] = {"first", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth"};
    char dumpChar; // Had to add this to empty the input stream for the next
                  // name.
    double average;

    for ( int x = 0; x < 5; x++ ) {
    cout << "Enter " << studPos[x] << " student's name: ";
    getline(cin, student[x].name);
    cout << "Enter " << studPos[x] << " student's attendance: ";
    cin >> student[x].attendance;
    cout << "Enter " << studPos[x] << " student's exam score: ";
    cin >> student[x].exam;
    cout << "Enter " << studPos[x] << " student's final exam score: ";
    cin >> student[x].final;
    cin.get(dumpChar);
    }
   
// From here you would calculate the rest of your code. The only
// problem I have with this code is for some reason something is still
// left in the cin stream, so it skips over name entering after you
// enter the first. I'm sure there is a simple solution for this, though.

I have an idea that grey text on a grey background is hard to read. :) Just make it orange or something.

main should have a return 0, but it doesn't need it.

It's supposed to be hard to read. That's why I did it, so she wouldn't have to look at it if she didn't want to. Also, I didn't put return zero because in my comment I added she should finish her code after that. :)

Return 0 is part of that.

Also, you should really be using iomanip to format the text in your code. Otherwise you'll get weird looking output.

...for the hell of it, here is the whole program working with my code. Also some sample output.

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

struct studentInfo {
      string name;
      int attendance, exam, final;
      string abovebelow;
      };

int main() {
    int studentNum = 5;
    studentInfo student[studentNum];
    string studPos[20] = {"1st", "2nd", "3rd", "4th", "5th", "6th", "7th", "8th",
                        "9th", "10th", "11th", "12th", "13th", "14th", "15th",
                        "16th", "17th", "18th", "19th", "20th"};
                        // Handles 20 students.
    double average;
    char dumpChar; // Had to add this to empty the input stream for the next
                  // name.
   
    for ( int x = 0; x < studentNum; x++ ) {
    cout << "Enter " << studPos[x] << " student's name: ";
    getline(cin, student[x].name);
    cout << "Enter " << studPos[x] << " student's attendance: ";
    cin >> student[x].attendance;
    cout << "Enter " << studPos[x] << " student's exam score: ";
    cin >> student[x].exam;
    cout << "Enter " << studPos[x] << " student's final exam score: ";
    cin >> student[x].final;
        if (student[x].attendance >= 5)
        student[x].final = student[x].final + 5;
    cin.get(dumpChar);
     
    average = average + student[x].final;
    }
   
    average = average / studentNum;
   
    for ( int x = 0; x < studentNum; x++ ) { 
        if (student[x].final >= average)
        student[x].abovebelow = "Above Average";
        else
        student[x].abovebelow = "Below Average";
        }

    cout << endl;   
    cout << setw(12) << "Student Name" << setw(12) << "Attendance" << setw(12) << "Exam Score"
        << setw(13) << "Final Score" << setw(21) << "Above/Below Average" << endl;
    for ( int x = 0; x < studentNum; x++ ) {
    cout << setw(12) << student[x].name << setw(12) << student[x].attendance << setw(12)
        << setw(12) << student[x].exam << setw(12) << student[x].final << setw(21)
        << student[x].abovebelow << endl;
        }
               
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;   
                 
  }

The reason it's better to use the array is it's easier to change if say, you wanted to have 30 students listed. You don't have to define 100 new variables, you just change the value of studentNum and ofcourse you must change the values of studPos if you want more than 20 students.
