count in array

[joebeach]

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this program?<br><br>#include &lt;iostream.h&gt;<br>int main()<br>{<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;int count[]= {0};<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;int ch, x;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;float num , total, average;<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;x =0;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;total = 0.0;<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;for (count[x] =0; count[x] &lt; ch; count[x]++)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;{<br> cout &lt;&lt; &quot;Enter a number:&quot;;<br> cin&gt;&gt; count[ch];<br> total = total + count[ch];<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;average = total / 6;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;cout&lt;&lt;average&lt;&lt;endl;<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;return 0;<br>}

joebeach,<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Just a quick look I can see a couple of things that stand out about your <b>for</b> loop. First, <i>ch</i> is not initialized. When you type <i>int ch</i>, you are setting aside memory for the variable but you are not setting it to anything. The value of <i>ch</i> is going to be whatever was already at that memory location unless you set it to something.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Second, your <b>for</b> loop is saying that you are checking the contents of the array to see if it is less than <i>ch</i>. I think that you need to be checking the variable <i>x</i> and not <i>count[x]</i>.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Try this:<br>#include &lt;iostream.h&gt;<br>int main()<br>{<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;int ch = 6;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;int count[ch]= {0};<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;float total, average;<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;total = 0.0;<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for (int x = 0; x &lt; ch; x++)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cout &lt;&lt; &quot;Enter a number:&quot;;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cin&gt;&gt; count[ch];<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;total = total + count[ch];<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;average = total / ch;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cout&lt;&lt;average&lt;&lt;endl;<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;return 0;<br>} <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I haven't run this to check it but it seems to me that this is more like what you want.<br> <p>James P.

2ffat,<br>The only thing is that ch has to be an unknow count because the user has to input how many time.&nbsp;&nbsp;It should be dymanically.&nbsp;&nbsp;like one time it would be 2.
