I have coding in C++ that is suppose to read from a file that has five runners and their amount of miles they ran for seven days. I am suppose to then find the average and total miles they have ran. The error message I am getting is in line 70 for trying to output to the output file. It says error C2664: 'printout' : cannot convert parameter 3 from 'std::string []' to 'std::string' line 70

[zeroliken]

The error says it all,
the actual and formal parameter for printout() at line 70 at names is wrong as it is an array

[alyssa.wilkins.77]

So how should I change it so that it works. I am still learning.

[NathanOliver]

line 11 should be

void printout(ifstream& infile, ofstream& outfile ,string names[numRows],double results[numRows][numCol],double average[numRows]);

[alyssa.wilkins.77]

Okay I changed the line but now nothing is printing to the output file.

[dx9_programmer]

Try printing to standard output instead. Perhaps the input data is not being read properly?

You can also check if the input and output file is open with is_open() member function.

[alyssa.wilkins.77]

I think it is the reading of my input file. I changed the for loops in the function printout to just print each value and nothing is appearing on the screen.

[alyssa.wilkins.77]

I have the file as runners.txt
And the names and numbers are set as:

Jason 2 3 2 4 5 1 5
Samantha 6 7 8 3 5 2 6
Ravi 9 2 5 1 5 7 4
Sheila 7 7 6 8 5 7
Ankit 5 7 5 6 8 5 9

[dx9_programmer]

It would be easier to read and understand your code if you indent on the for loops.

Your initialize() function should be like this:

I just realized your using the same iterator variable 'i' for each loop.

for(i=0; i<numRows; i++) {
    infile>>names[i];

    // you're using 'i' twice, use another variable otherwise
    // i=numRows and only the first line in the file is processed
    for(r=0;r<numRows;r++) {
        for(j=0;j<numCol;i++)
            infile>>results[r][j];
        cout<<endl;
    }

    // why add this? you have to calculate the average not store it
    /*
    for(i=0;i<numRows;i++)
    {
        infile>>average[i];
    }*/
}

Okay I think I changed it in the right place but still nothing is printing to the screen.

You should remove lines 50-52 and pass the arrays to initialize() from main. Actually, you have two calls to initialize(), one in main and the other in openfile(). Remove one of them, preferably from inside openfile().

Pass the arrays to initialize(). Don't forget to modify the function prototypes.

ie.
initialize(infile, outfile, names, average, results);
