Hi,
i am getting frustrated with my code. please, please, please help me.
i wrote a class eArray with different functions and i have all of them working but 2.
for the first i am trying to get the nth fibonacci number.
the second one, i am trying to add two equal sized eArrays where both are two multi digit numbers.
the operation is of the form P+=Q.
i am getting some errors like:

Error 1 error C2784: 'std::_String_iterator<_Elem,_Traits,_Alloc> std::operator +(_String_iterator<_Elem,_Traits,_Alloc>::difference_type,std::_String_iterator<_Elem,_Traits,_Alloc>)' : could not deduce template argument for 'std::_String_iterator<_Elem,_Traits,_Alloc>' from 'eArray' h:\ece 304\ece304w1fp1(earray)\ece304w1fp1(earrray)\ece304w1fp1(earrray)\code.cpp 213

You must define +, = operator for eArray.

Good luck!!

With such a large file, it would be helpful to have line numbers to find where the error message is pointing. When posting code like this, use the form

[code=c++] void lfib(int a){ int i; }

[/code]
which will make your code look like:

void lfib(int a){
	int i;
	eArray x(500), y(500), ans(500);
	x=y=1;
	for(i = 1; i<=a; i++){


		ans = x + y;
		x = y;
		y = ans;
	}

}

which is the area the compile problem occurs; several actually. As noted, you have not defined what the addition operator ( + ) means in terms of an eArray object, nor have you created a copy constructor to handle the assignment operation ( = ).

In line 4, you should be using your set( int, int ) method to assign values. Lines 6, 7, 8 should use the set( ) and get( ) methods to access discrete values. I don't think you meant to add or assign the entire arrays. And, you need some indexing variable to move along through the eArray objects.

When the loop is completed, what do you do with the answer? Wouldn't it make sense to return it to the caller? That's how this function is usually written.

And please don't start additional threads on the same topic. You should have continued this in your earlier posting.

hi,
thank you for replying. i finally figured out a way to add two arrays and using eArray.
i also wrote the fibonacci code. However, when i debug and print the fibonacci number, i get some numbers like this:

8
10
7
5 5 5 5
4 3 2 1
10 20 30 40
1 7 8 2 4
7 1 2 9 6
8
10 20 30 40 0 0 0 0
10 20
Input n:5
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -5 -9 -1 -8 0 -8 -8 -4 -8 -8 8
After a is copied to v, v becomes 9 3 4 5 6

After a is added to v, v becomes 8 6 9 1 2

>>it prints the 5th fibonacci number at the end of the gabbage.
when i try to print the 10th fibonacci number which is 89, i get 9 at the end of the gabbage.
Help me please. The eArray class is still the same with some more functions added:
