select sort using array of pointers---getting wrong values.
Please support our C++ advertiser: Intel Parallel Studio Home

Hi all,
I was writing a program for sorting the test scores using array of pointers and dynamic memory allocation. Surprisingly, I am getting indefinite values after sorting. I wrote a header file, .cpp file and main. cpp.
Actually, after sorting I thought of adding an average function in .cpp file and can call that function in main.
But first of all, I am unable to sort the test scores properly.
Can anybody tell me where I went wrong?
I am sending my code as attachment.
Thanks in advance.

your program will not even compile correctly so why are you trying to run it. arrays can not be allocated the way you are attempting in line 4 below. You need to make variable tests a pointer and use new to allocate the memory after line 6, at which time the value of numScores will be known.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

not if you don't give us current, compilable code. No point wasting our time on old obsolete code.
