Hello everyone,

The problem I am having is in the "addBook" function, I'm trying to make sure the string is empty, and if it is I will ask the user to enter the information into each array.

I don't think i'm entering the information into the array properly either.

Can anyone help me on these two problems?

Lines 251-272.

Lines 251-272.

while (bookTitle[] == 0) You need to specify an index, which book title are you comparing to? The comparison should be to an empty string, represented by "" (two double quotes, no space between them.)

And in the rest of the function, you also need to specify array indexes.

Okay, not as many errors, but this is what i got:

error C2107: illegal index, indirection not allowed

void addBook()
{
    while (bookTitle[""] == "")
    {
        cout << "Please enter the information for the following:\n\n";
        cout << "Enter the title of the book: ";
        getline(cin, bookTitle[""]);
        cout << "Enter the ISBN of the book in the form (X-XXX-XXXXX-X): ";
        cin >> isbn[""];
        cout << "Enter the name of the author: ";
        cin >> author[""];
        cout << "Enter the name of the publisher: ";
        getline(cin, publisher[""]);
        cout << "Enter the date added, in the form (MM/DD/YYYY): ";
        cin >> dateAdded[""];
        cout << "Enter the quantity of the book being added: ";
        cin >> qtyOnHand[0];
        cout << "Enter the wholesale cost of the book: ";
        cin >> wholesale[0.0];
        cout << "Enter the retail price of the book: ";
        cin >> retail[0.0];
    }

while (bookTitle[""] == "") The double quotes do not work as an array index. You got to have an integer value there. Which of the 20 books are you trying to fill?

Okay, i finally got it, sorry!
