Post your errors and highlight the lines on which they occur...that way it would be easier for us to spot them...

A number of errors in the above code:

float mean = 0;
   float median = 0;
   float mode= 0;
   int numbers[ MAX_SIZE ], size; 
 
 
   getNumbers( numbers, size,MAX_SIZE); 
 
   createFrequency(size,frequency[],NUM_RANGE); // you never declared "frequency", so why are you trying to use it?
   createHistogram(frequency, NUM_RANGE); 
 
   mean=calcMean(ofstream& inFile, numbers, size ); // you can't just declare a variable right when you're calling the function... declare it beforehand
 
   sort (int list[], int last); // read previous comment on this...
   bubbleUp(int list[], int current, int last); // ^_^
   median = calcMedian(ofstream&, int list[], int); // crazy, too
   mode = calcMode(ofstream& report, int freq[], int size); // DECLARE YOUR VARIABLES BEFOREHAND!

Hopefully you understand... you're trying to declare a lot of variables as you're calling functions, which is bad for 2 reasons: 1, you never initalized the variables; 2, you just can't do that.

Hope this helps

ok yeah i see what your saying i think but im also getting a lot of
expected primary-expression before ']' token on the createFrequency function for example how is that fixed

ok yeah i see what your saying i think but im also getting a lot of
expected primary-expression before ']' token on the createFrequency function for example how is that fixed

I tried to explain.

Create an int array called "frequency".

Then when you call createFrequency, make sure it looks like this:

createFrequency(size,frequency,NUM_RANGE);

Do you see what I'm getting at? The compiler has no idea what frequency is. Until you declare it as an identifier, the compiler will have no idea what to do when it encounters "frequency". So to prevent this error, you must create a variable to pass to the function.

Another problem you are going to have is scope. I haven't checked your other functions, but take createFrequency() for example. When you pass it a variable that it's supposed to modify, it modifies it, and then the variable goes out of scope. So it's completely useless unless you use a pointer. See more on scope here:
http://www.imada.sdu.dk/~svalle/courses/dm14-2005/mirror/c/subsection3_9_1.html#SECTION0009100000000000000

So if you're using a pointer, this is how your function prototype for createFrequency should look like:

void createFrequency(int scores [] , int size, int *frequency, 
                      int range)

Hope this helps

Ok i fixed all that now i think, but i still got that problem with my ofstream&. Oh and im not using pointers

Ok i fixed all that now i think, but i still got that problem with my ofstream&.

You mean this line, correct?

mean=calcMean(ofstream& inFile, numbers, size );

I've told you already, don't declare variables when you're calling a function. Instead, declare them beforehand. So it would look something like this:

ofstream inFile;
mean=calcMean(&inFile, numbers, size);

Oh and im not using pointers

Just to clarify, when I said you had to use pointers, you can also declare parameters like int &variable . Same idea; you're passing the memory address of a main variable, and passing it to a function. But if you don't pass a pointer, and you pass the value instead, it will not work. Let me give you an example.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void change_x(int x);

int main() {

    int x=0;
    cout << "Inital value of x is " << x << ".\n";
    change_x(x);
    cout << "Value of x after change_x() is " << x << ".\n";
}

void change_x(int x) {

    x = 500;
}

Innoncent newbies would expect this code to print out 500 as the changed x value. But x has gone out of scope, and so it will print out 0 even after change_x().

However, this code uses memory addresses to do the job, and it will print out 500:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void change_x(int *x);

int main() {

    int x=0;
    cout << "Inital value of x is " << x << ".\n";
    change_x(&x);
    cout << "Value of x after change_x() is " << x << ".\n";
}

void change_x(int *x) { // note that we could also use "int &x"

    *x = 500;
}

If we use int &x instead of int *x when declaring change_x(), then x could actually be used as a regular variable, and a * would not have to be appended before changing the value of the variable.

Hope this helps

I was declaring it the wrong way. Thanks

Ok this is what I got now. I declared them the way you showed me I think there are still a few problems yet. Am i going out of scope still? There is somthing wrong with my function and their declarations I'm not in to pointers yet so dont worry about them now. The problems are Bolded

Sorry i Forgot code tags

Sorry i Forgot code tags

Hmm, you forget the code tags, I see that you've edited your post, but you haven't added the code tags! I know that you haven't been locked out of editing, as it's only 15 minutes since you posted. Anyway....

Ran your code through my compiler. Here are some errors.

In your prototype of calcMean(), you forgot the [] after numbers :

float calcMean(ofstream& inFile, int numbers /* this is what's messing you up */, int size );

Also, I can't figure out why you pass inFile to calcMean(), since it never uses it...

In those calc...() functions, change ofstream & to ofstream *. It has some sort of problem passing non-const types or something; I'm not really sure...

Ah! I've found the problem here:

while ( ( size < MAX_SIZE ) && ( inFile >> numbers[ size ] ) ) {

There's absoloutely nothing wrong with this line of code; I proved it to myself by writing little test snippets using inFile. The problem is that inFile is not really an in file:

void getNumbers( int numbers[ ], int& size,int MAX_SIZE )
{
ofstream inFile;

Pretty hard to read data from an ofstream... ;)

Hope this helps
