Hey everyone. I am working on my final skills check for my intro C++ class and I am having some trouble. the problem is to take a descriptor and a value and tag it onto the end of a 2D array created in a struct, a la:
struct 2d
{
char descriptor;
int value;
}
The original array is read in from a text file. I am having trouble adding on the descriptor and value. so far i have....
bool trytoread(ifstream *ps,map2d *ppt)
{
*ps>>(*ppt).descriptor;
if (!*ps)
return false;
*ps>>(*ppt).value;
if (!*ps)
return false;
return true;
}
in order to read in the file and get a count for the number of values in the file....
then in main:
while(trytoread(&inStream, &list[count]))
{
count++;
}
list[count+1].descriptor=descriptor;
list[count+1].value=number;
for(int j=0; j<count+1; j++)
cout << list[j].descriptor << " " << list[j].value << endl;
this is the part I do not understand. descriptor and number have already been given as input with cin/cout statements. Instead of adding this to the list I just get a 0 where the descriptor etc. should be. any ideas? I can include my whole code if anyone wants to look at that, thanks.
