question re: c++ program

[juusan]

I'm a college student in a C++ class. I'm writing a program, and I get the follow error:

[taz3] 3:36pm ~/c++ > gcc stustats-sjs.cpp -o stustats-sjs.app
stustats-sjs.cpp: In function `int main()':

I've search google and there's very little information in regards to this error. help!

here's my program:

}

Replace setw[ 11 ] with setw(11).

I am not a an expert in the Linux programming environment, but here is just a hint. But try using g++ instead of gcc. gcc is usually used for C programs while g++ is used for c++.

[rnodal]

Ok here is the code that should work.

I put some coments on some of the things that you did and that I changed.

#include <cmath>

// you dont need this again
// you already included it
// #include <cmath>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

void     SetPreciison(int);            

using    namespace std;

// you dont need the void, but you can do it.
//int main (void)
int main()
{                                      

/*       begin local data space        */
const    int       max = 7;            

int     stuNum[max] = {101,102,103,104,105,106,107};
int     scores[max] = {17,16,15,15,15,14,13};
int		numScores, sumScores;
float	meanAvg, sumMnDvSq, variance, stdDev;
float	mnDev[max],	mnDvSq[max], zscore[max];

/* begin steph's code */

int i = 0;
numScores = 0;
sumScores = 0;

for (i=0; i<max; i++)  {
	numScores = numScores + 1;
	sumScores = sumScores + scores[i];
	}

meanAvg = sumScores/numScores;  
sumMnDvSq = 0;

for (i=0; i<max; i++){
	mnDev[i] = scores[i] - meanAvg;
	mnDvSq[i] = mnDev[i] * mnDev[i];
	sumMnDvSq = sumMnDvSq + mnDvSq[i];

}



variance = sumMnDvSq/numScores - 1;
stdDev = sqrt(variance);

for (i=0; i<max; i++){
	zscore[i] = mnDev[i]/stdDev;
}

/* print column headers */
cout.width(11);cout << "STUNUM";
cout.width(11);cout << "SCORES";
cout.width(11);cout << "MEANDEV";
cout.width(11);cout << "MEANDEVSQ";
cout.width(11);cout << "ZSCORE";		
cout.width(11);cout << "\n\n";
		
		
		
for (i=0; i<max; i++)	{
cout.width(11);cout << stuNum[i];
cout.width(11);cout << scores[i];
cout.width(11);cout << mnDev[i];
cout.width(11);cout << mnDvSq[i];
cout.width(11);cout << zscore[i];
cout.width(11);cout << endl;	
			
			
}
		

/* end steph's code */



         return(0);                    
}                                      

void     SetPrecision(int pDecPlaces)  
{
         cout.setf(ios::right);        
         cout.setf(ios::fixed);
         cout.setf(ios::showpoint);
         cout.precision(pDecPlaces);
	 	// This function is void, you shouldn't use return,
      	// but you can.
        // return;                       
}

Note that the following code was wrong:

/* print column headers */
cout 	<< setw[11] << "STUNUM"
		<< setw[11] << "SCORES"
		<< setw[11] << "MEANDEV"
		<< setw[11] << "MEANDEVSQ"
		<< setw[11] << "ZSCORE"		
		<< setw[11] << "\n\n";
		
		
		
for (i=0; i<max; i++)	{
	cout 	<< setw[11] << stuNum[i]
			<< setw[11] << scores[i]
			<< setw[11] << mnDev[i]
			<< setw[11] << mnDvSq[i]
			<< setw[11] << zscore[i]
			<< setw[11] << endl;	
			
			
}

First, setw[11], is not a function from iostream. Second, you use:
"()"<== for functions ===
"[]"<== for arrays ====.
The right function is "width(int)". Any how look in the code that I posted. You will see how it is used. Don't worry about making mistakes like that, that's common in people new to C++ or C. Also please use g++ to compile c++ programs:

g++ stustats-sjs.cpp -o stustats-sjs.app

I also recommend the following website:
www.cppreference.com/
It gives a lot of examples on how use functions from c++.

Take care, good luck and hope I helped some how.

thank you both for your help! between g++ and the improved code, everything's working great. thanks :)
