Arrays

Nov 23rd, 2007

Hi,

I need some help writing this program. The question states to write a program that specifies three one-dimensional arrays named current, resistance, and volts. Each array should be capable of holding 10 elements. Using a for loop, input values for the current and resistance arrays. The entries in the volts array should be the product of the corresponding values in the current and resistance arrays (thus, volts[i] = current[i] * resistance[i]). After all of the data has been entered, display the following output:
Current Resistance Volts:
Under each column heading display the appropriate value.

>>I need some help writing this program
Which part are you confused about? We are not going to write the program for you. So you might as well do what you can, post your program, and ask specific questions. The instructions seem to be pretty clear to me.

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.

Hi,

This is my program.

 Help with Code Tags 
 c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
	const int ARRAYSIZE = 10;
	int i, current[ARRAYSIZE];
 
	for (i = 0; i < ARRAYSIZE; i++) // Enter the current values
	{
		cout << "Enter a number: ";
		cin >> current[i];
	}
 
	const int SIZE = 10;
	int j, resistance[SIZE];
 
	for (j = 0; j < SIZE; j++) // Enter the resistance values
	{
		cout << "Enter a number: ";
		cin >> resistance[j];
	}
 
	const int MAXNUMS = 10;
	int k, volts[MAXNUMS], volts = 0;
 
	for (k = 0; k < MAXNUMS; k++) // Display and calculate the voltage
	{
		cout << "The voltage is " << volts[k] << endl;
		volts[k] = current[i] * resistance[j];
	}
 
	return 0;
}
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	const int ARRAYSIZE = 10;
	int i, current[ARRAYSIZE];

	for (i = 0; i < ARRAYSIZE; i++) // Enter the current values
	{
		cout << "Enter a number: ";
		cin >> current[i];
	}

	const int SIZE = 10;
	int j, resistance[SIZE];

	for (j = 0; j < SIZE; j++) // Enter the resistance values
	{
		cout << "Enter a number: ";
		cin >> resistance[j];
	}

	const int MAXNUMS = 10;
	int k, volts[MAXNUMS], volts = 0;

	for (k = 0; k < MAXNUMS; k++) // Display and calculate the voltage
	{
		cout << "The voltage is " << volts[k] << endl;
		volts[k] = current[i] * resistance[j];
	}

	return 0;
}

But the program didn't succeed here. The error message that I'm receiving is c:\documents and settings\fidaali\my documents\computer science 102\professor hadi - homework 2 - prg2\prg2.cpp(25) : error C2040: 'volts' : 'int' differs in levels of indirection from 'int [10]'. The error message points me in the line int k, volts[MAXNUMS], volts = 0;.

you are attempting to duplicate the symbol name of the array and a variable. Variable names can not be duplicated.

I don't understand your last post thread about duplicating the variable names.

volts[MAXNUMS] is the name of an array
volts = 0 is the name of a simple integer

They must have different names

I have edited the program that I have created. Can you please check if this is right so far. The only problem I'm having is that it is calculating the voltage but the value I'm getting every time is -858993460 whenever I input any value. The program is suppose to calculate the voltage by multiplying current times resistance.

This is my program:

not 'Display and calculate the voltage'
but 'calculate first and then display the voltage'
swap the two lines in the for loop.

Re: Arrays

The output that I have gotten is still not correct. When I try putting in 2 for 10 integers for the current and resistance it should be give me a total of 40 for both. When I multiply them, to get the voltage it should be give me 400 volts not 687194768.

This is my program again:
