C++ Counters Not Working

Question

I am trying to count the number of each letter grade for a list of students and count how many are male and female and how many students there are total. The problematic section is:

int ItemType::CountItems(int& ACount, int& BCount, int& CCount, int& DCount, int& FCount,
                         int& MaleCount, int& FemaleCount, int& TotalCount, char grd,
                         char sex)
{
  if(!TotalCount > 0)
  {
    ACount = 0;
    BCount = 0;
    CCount = 0;
    DCount = 0;
    FCount = 0;
    MaleCount = 0;
    FemaleCount = 0;
  }

  if(grd == 'A')
  {
    ACount++;
    return ACount;
  }
  if(grd == BGrd)
  {
    BCount++;
    return BCount;
  }
  if(grd == CGrd)
  {
    CCount++;
    return CCount;
  }
  if(grd == DGrd)
  {
    DCount++;
    return DCount;
  }
  else
  {
    FCount++;
    return FCount;
  }

  if(sex == MALE)
  {
    MaleCount++;
    return MaleCount;
  }
  else
  {
    FemaleCount++;
    return FemaleCount;
  }

  TotalCount++;
}

void ItemType::CallCountItems()
{
  CountItems(ACount, BCount, CCount, DCount, FCount, MaleCount, FemaleCount, TotalCount, grd,
             sex);
}

I think you forgot to state what the problem was, all you did was post the problematic code and a whole lot more code...

I only looked at the code briefly, so there may well be other errors and I may have overlooked sections that address areas discussed below.

1) I don't see where totalCount is initialized to zero. Based on quick review of code it looks like this should probably be done in the constructor.

2) There is no reason to pass or return the variables ACount, BCount, etc to coutnItems() as they are member variables and member functions of the ItemType class.

The problem is that the counters within the first section of code (the problematic code) are not working. Here's an example of the problem (ignore the 958, 959, etc., they are line numbers):

Input:
A 999 A F
A 122 B M
A 756 C F
P
A 598 B M
A 742 C F
P

Output:
958 <* Grade Report *>
959
960
961 STUD ID GRADE SEX
962 ------- ----- ---
963 122 B M
964 756 C F

In lines 994-1000 all of the mumbo jumbo is my function PrintStats printing ACount, BCount, CCount, DCount, FCount, MaleCount, FemaleCount. These counters appear to be printing a memory location instead of counting and printing how many A's, B's, etc. there are. I cannot figure out how to code the counters so they count the grade and the sex of each student.

I just added TotalCount so that it is initialized to 0.

if(!TotalCount > 0)
  {
    ACount = 0;
    BCount = 0;
    CCount = 0;
    DCount = 0;
    FCount = 0;
    MaleCount = 0;
    FemaleCount = 0;
    TotalCount = 0;
  }

That won't work. You need to initialize TotalCount to a valid value before you use int in the conditional of the if statement. Again, I recommend doing it in the constructor.
