Anyone out there pliz help me.am new to c++ and the program am supposed to write has to accept
1)19 country names
2)there populations
3)growth const
and i have to use a formula (population*growth const) to find the growth of the country.
dispalay sholud be like as below.

country_name population growth_const growth

here is what i have tried
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>

char country[20];
int grth_const[20];
int pop[20]
int i;
int growth[20]

void main()

{
clrscr();

for (i=o;i<=19;i++)

{




cout<<"Enter country name";

cin>>country[i]; //the country name is supposed to be stored into an array of countries since ther are loads to be entered

cout<<"Enter population"; //this is the population of the countries above

cin>>pop[i];

cout<<"enter growth rate";

cin>>grth_const[i];

growth[i]=pop[i]*grth_const[i];

}
for(int b=0;b<=19;b++)
{
cout<<country[i]<<pop[i]<<grth_const[i]<<growth[i];
}


}

Greetings,

Firstly, there are a few syntax problems with your provided source.

nor Has a semicolon, which could cause the compiler to result in errors.

Secondly: may cause a problem as o and 0 are two different things.

Thirdly, calling country[i] can cause your program to fail, as it is an array of characters. For example: Would be interpereted as word[0] is 'H', word[1] is 'e', word[2] is 'l', and so forth. So we will never really get our full country name per loop around. We can fix this though by changing it to a two dimensional array.

Q. How do those work?
A. Like any two dimensional realm; rows and colums.

For a quick example of how this would work, would be presented as the following:

For instance, take: It would appear to be as: In the 2-D realm. So if we had: It would look like: To simply fix the code, we could change country to: Which contains 20 rows, with 15 letters maximum each.

Fourthly, using "cin >>" to input into the stream is very dangerous, especially when dealing with a limited space character array. You could overflow the arrays boundaries as "cin >>" does not support buffer overflow protection. In a more safer environment, we can use getline() as a substitute:
