I have a vector of structs consisting of two strings, a long integer, and an array of integers. Upon creation of said structs, I initialize each element in the array to 0. My question is, How would I go about assigning different values to each of the elements in the array? I tried to use swap and assign, but they are more for having two 1 dimensional vectors, not 2 dimensional ones, and I only want to change the values in a certain struct at a given time. Please help? Thanks!
If you'd like to see some code, this is what I have so far:
//this is my struct
typedef struct {
string lastName;
string firstName;
long int gNumber;
int grades[12];
} student;
//this function takes data from a file, fills it into a struct, then pushes back into //vector
bool loadStudentData( vector<student> &studentRecords, ifstream *inFile, student tempStudent) {
int idx = 0;
stringstream fileLine;
string line;
bool isLoaded = true;
char letterInGNumber;
while (getline(*inFile, line)) {
fileLine << line;
getline(fileLine, tempStudent.lastName, ',');
getline(fileLine, tempStudent.firstName, ',');
fileLine >> letterInGNumber;
fileLine >> tempStudent.gNumber;
for (idx = 0; idx <= 11; idx++) {
tempStudent.grades[idx] = 0;
}
studentRecords.push_back(tempStudent);
fileLine.flush();
}
return isLoaded;
}
//this function is trying to take things from a second file, and if the Gnumber(the //long int) is found in the vector then assign values to the grade array
void loadClassData(vector<student> &studentRecords, ifstream *inFile) {
int idx = 0, idxTwo = 0, idxThree = 0;
long int tempGNumber = 0;
stringstream fileLine;
vector<long int> gNumbers;
bool numberFound = false;
char letterInGNumber;
string line;
while (getline(*inFile, line)) {
idx++;
numberFound = false;
fileLine << line;
fileLine >> letterInGNumber;
fileLine >> tempGNumber;
for (idxTwo = 0; idxTwo <= studentRecords.size(); idxTwo++) {
if (studentRecords[idxTwo].gNumber == tempGNumber) {
numberFound = true;
break;
}
}
if (numberFound) {
for (idxThree = 0; idxThree <= 11; idxThree++) {
//fileLine >> studentRecords[idx].grades[idxThree];
/**********here is the problem, I don't know how to assign the grade values******/
}
}
else {
cout << "G Number could not be found!" << endl << endl;
}
fileLine.flush();
}
return;
}
anyone? please?
