Hello, I'm new to this thread but have referenced to it before many times. I have finally joined thanks to all the great responses I have read in the past.
Okay, I recieved an assignment which is as follow...
"Declare a dynamic array of Person to store the information of each student. Implement a simple user interface that allows the enduser of your program to: (1) type in the total number of students at runtime from the keyboard; and (2) provide the specific value of every data member for each student. Then implement the counting sort algorithm to sort all the students in increasing order of age. You can assume a personʼs age is an integer and within a small interval, say, 15--90. For comparison purpose, print out the unsorted array before calling the sorting procedure and the sorted one after.
Note: Person is implemented as a struct and consists of: firstname, lastname, age,
birthdate, and salary.
birthdate is of type date which is implemented as a struct and consists of:
day, month, and year.

My code this is what I have done so far

The errors continue. Way too many.
Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
