just need a little help wit comparing two int arrays and return the value as bool.

help:


#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>

using namespace std;
using std::setw;

bool compare(int[], int[]);



int main(){

const int correctarraysize=5;
const int pupilarraysize=5;
int resultarraysize=5;

int pupilarray[pupilarraysize ];
int correctarray[correctarraysize]={1,2,3,4,1};
bool resultarray=0;

cout<<"\n\nEnter pupil's results:"<<endl;
for(int k=0;k<pupilarraysize;k++)
cin>>pupilarray[k];

cout<<"*************************\a**************************\a**********"<<endl;

cout<<"\nPupil's choice:"<<setw(26)<<"Answare:"
<<setw(20)<<"Results are"<<endl;

for(int j=0;j<pupilarraysize;j++)

cout<<setw(14)<<pupilarray[j]<<setw(26)<<correctarray[j]
<<setw(20)<<resultarray<<endl;
cout<<"*************************\a**************************\a***********"<<endl;
return 0;
}

bool compare(int c[], int p[]){
bool resultarray=0;
for(int i=1;i<25;i++)
if( c[i]= p[i])
bool resultarray=true;
else
bool resultarray=false;
return resultarray ;
}

any way i can compare the two? ^shit aint workin'

Here is your problem. You are assigning p[i] to c[i]; basically copying the values from one array 'p' into array 'c'.


What you really want to be doing is the '==' equals to operator. This would make the code be like this:

Hope this helps!

Also I didn't notice this at first:

What you really want is so that if you check every item and it equals '==', then you return true. If you ever see a mismatch, you dump a false.



A little cleaner, and minus another bug in your code:

--------------------Configuration: HIT IT - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
HIT IT.CPP
C:\Documents and Settings\200402622\Desktop\HIT IT.CPP(43) : error C2181: illegal else without matching if
Error executing cl.exe.

HIT IT.OBJ - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)


i get that

the other one returns no value to the resultarray
