There are some missing '{' brackets after line 69,75,80. Can you try after fixing them. and if that's just a typo then plz paste the corrected version.

I have done a correction what you had told but it seems still error again..

swap(exams.at (i).total.at(j)[min],exams.at (i).total.at(j)); What's the [min] doing?

min means to get the minimum

you set min to be the value of j, so that statement is equivalent to exams.at (i).total[j][j] , but .total is not a two dimensional array, is it? That's what the error C2109 is about, you're putting an excess array index on this expression.

I want to sort the number in descending order...but how to declare a exams.at (i).total.at(j)" in if statement?

I want to sort the number in descending order...but how to declare a exams.at (i).total.at(j)" in if statement?

> you mean

if((exams.at (i).total.at(j)) < somthing)

yess.....the outpu is like this...

1: 25
2: 20
3: 46
4: 56
5: 12
6: 22

and i want to sort in descending order
4: 56
3: 46
1: 25

you can use any of the sorting algorithms. Try bubble sort, it's one of the easiest and since the number of elements is not too large you dont need to worry about performance.

before that you need to fix some other errors in your code too. within nested for loops that counter you use should have different names. all your nested loops have 'j'.

but how to make an if statement?

j<j+1 or j+1>j?

if( j < (j+1) )
{
//code
}

I have tried to do a bubble sort..but error..what is 'size' : function does not take 1 parameters

you dont need to use 'size' in the if statement, you can compare the values itself, using the 'at' function was enough.

compare the values "exams.at(i).total.at()"
