ok I got this far in the code but I can't seem to get a person to enter an age and the program to return the info of those with the same age.

I think this is what I need to use...or at least something like this on my code.

/////                                                                                  
int search(student[], int size, int anAge);
{
  for (int i=0; (i<size); i++)
    if (Slist[i].Age == anAge)
      {
        return i;
      }
}
////

  string Name;
  char   Gender;
  string Major;
  int    Age;

int main()
