Good Morning,
I'm having some problems with my code. This program is to have at least 5 functions .
1.)Ingrades: a two dimensional array that stores student ID, grades and times absent.
2.)Score. Calculates scores for all course work (two partial tests 15% each , two quizzes 10 %each, 1 project 20%1 final 30%.
3.standev - calculates the standard deviation of each course work
4.Modif - lets user modify any score or absent total
5.ViewGradesl: outputs all the grades for each student ID entered

My problem so far, my code runs, but I'm having major problems with the following functions:

1.)Ingrade: my problem here is that I'm not really sure in which index I'm storing the Absence Count.
2.) Score : I made it really simple assuming all scores where the same. But I'm having problems trying to give a 15% value to tests and 10% ten to quizzes and so on.. so in the end I can compute the final grade correctly. And also I have problems when running the subtraction of -1% if student is absent it is deducted a 1% of the final grade. and if the student is absent more than than ten times it is an F. I can put all 100 and 1 absent and the program sometimes gives out an F.

3.)standev: This works ok (I think )

4.) Modif: welll , where to start with this one?. It is supposed to modify the original array with new grades for each student ID and then recompute using function score. but any sort of value I enter I don't know where I'm sending it. I thought I was sending it to the original array but apparently I'm not

5.) ViewGrades works ok, displaying each student id and all grades , but I wish to modify it to actually display some sort of table.


I would gladly appreciate any ideas or help I'm exhausted with this project

Line 23 - you have six scores. Why do you have rows 1 through 7 to store them instead of rows 1 - 6?

Line 44 - Valid indexes for the second index are 0 to 9. Using index 10 may or may not be a seg fault, but you shouldn't do that.


As for your problems/questions, you say you are storing absences in index 8 above and that appears to be the case in lines 130 - 141 in your code. What do you mean when you say you aren't sure where you're storing it?

This is a lot of code to go through. Please give us more precise questions to work off of. "I'm having problems" is a bit vague. Test the program, see if it works, and if it doesn't, tell us the exact input you used, the exact output you got, and what the output should have been.

commented: helpful +1

my main problem is that I really don't grasp how to use multi-dimensional arrays that well, I'm having problem specifically in the part of the Score function and then in the ViewGrades function for example:

I entered grades for 3 students but only two calculations come out ok then third one automatically gives me an F to that student id and if I enter 5 student's records the last student ID will become 0% F

The scores for student's (With ID #: 1)tests are:
100%
100%
100%
100%
100%
100%
With 5 absences to class.
Final grade is A(95%).

The scores for student's (With ID #: 95)tests are:
100%
100%
100%
100%
100%
100%
With 10 absences to class.
Final grade is F(0%).

The scores for student's (With ID #: 0)tests are:
100%
100%
100%
100%
100%
100%
With 0 absences to class.
Final grade is F(0%).

This function asks to input all six grades, but given that all grades have the same value.

I'm out of ideas how to ask and store in an array given that each grade has a different value. How would I store for example that test 1 , test 2 are each 20% and quizzes 10% and project 20% and final 30%?

My first thought is : use a StudentGrades struct and an array of such structures; it will make the whole thing readable at least :)

But let's see what should happen here in the "Ingrade" function ( wierd name by the way ).
You say: "// Function that lets user input student ID, two partial exams one final, two quizzes and one project and studentCount of twenty classes"

If i get this right, you want the user to give you "n" students, their grades & their absences ? And you want to save this info in the 2D array ?

You should do this in a single go like this:

// ! All this assumes that you have an array big enough to hold "n" arrays of 8 int positions !
    char * gradeType[6] = {"test1", "test2", "quiz1", "quiz2", "project", "Final"};
    for(int i = 0; i < studentCount; i++)
    {
        cout << "Enter the student's ID number: ";
        cin >> gradeBook[i][0];

        for(int j = 1; j < 7/*number of grades + 1 because at position [0] you stored the ID*/; j++)
        {
            cout << "Enter grade for " << gradeType[j-1] << ": ";
            cin >> gradeBook[i][j];
        }

        cout << "Enter the student's absence count: ";
        cin >> gradeBook[i][7];
    }

You must fix that bad index problem for this program to work. You can't use 10 as the second index. Valid indexes are 0 through 9. If you use 10, even if it compiles and runs, it almost certainly is overwriting information that you don't want it to overwrite, which makes your program unpredictable.

Run this program to get a sense of what I mean:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std; 

int main()
{
    int a[15][10];
    a[1][0] = 6;
    a[0][10] = 9;
    
    cout << a[1][0] << endl;
    return 0;
}

Result? You get a display of 9, which means the 6 was written over. Why? Because I used an invalid index and therefore a[1][0] and a[0][10] both point to the same address.

So you have two choices:

  1. Change your array declaration to double gradeBook[studentCount][studentRecords+1] so that legal second indexes are 0 through 10, not 0 through 9.
  2. Go through your code and make sure nothing is stored where the second index is 10.

The first solution is much quicker. Try it. Perhaps the problem will go away.

Note that if you elect to use my first option in the prior post, you must change declarations like this:

void Ingrades (double gradeBook[][10],int studentCount)

to

void Ingrades (double gradeBook[][11],int studentCount)

so they match the original array declaration. Otherwise all offset calculations will be incorrect.

Ok, I've been doing some modifications on my code and everything but the modif function works ok. The modif function although it runs and compiles. It actually does nothing to the original array thus I cannot recalculate scores based on the new scores entered. any help? How would I send the values asked from the modif function to the original array stored by the Ingrades function ? o.O .

First of all what scope is your gradebook[][] array declared in?

Try putting this for your Modif() function:

void *Modif (double gradebook[][9], int Students)

Not 100% sure if that will even do anything but I think it might change your array.

The scope of the array is just fine and it gets passed by addres so you're fine there too ...

DO NOT return void * ... why would you do that ? ( as the last post said)

My suggestion is that the "mechanics" are fine but the "logic" part may be faulty; try running it step-by-step in the debugger and check which condition is wrong.

Hi Sfuo

Santhosh here, i dont know the for loop u have taken to calculate absence u have given j=8 and j<9 that means it will only taken one value there where in u have to check how many days he is absent when u do this u will obviously get the answer as fail.

this is what i thought it may be right or wrong why cant u try that.

Look at where you are calculating their grades.

You have a for() loop that checks through the students to see if they have 10 absences or not then after that loop it goes to another loop that calculates their grade.

You want to take out the 2nd loop because it overwrites the final grade = 0 done by the 10 absences.

I see no problem with your modif() function unless you changed it in any way other than setting the indexes from your first post.

I have been following this grade book with a lot of interest. Wht was the final solution? did it work well?
