Hey guys working on an assignment called monkey business and here is my code im getting an error on these two things.
Error:

cout << "Monkey number "  << (monkey + 1)
        << " ate the least amount of food,\n"
        << leastFood << " pounds, on day "
        << (leastDay + 1) << endl;
}

cout << "Monkey number "  << (monkey + 1)
        << " ate the most amount of food,\n"
        << mostFood << " pounds, on day "
        << (mostDay + 1) << endl;

variable named monkey has not been declared or is not in current scope.

Move the declaration of monkey to the beginning of the function to make its scope function-wide. Then do not declare it in a loop

void foo()
{
   int monkey = 0;
   for(monkey = 0; // blabla)

}

What is the error. Please be specific.

you did something wrong, but since you didn't post any code I have no idea what you did. The same change has to be made to two different functions.

Sasquadge 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 2 · 2011-04-28T10:45:58+00:00

Im trying that and its not working its making a error show up with my int monstMonkey now

Sasquadge 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 3 · 2011-04-28T11:15:57+00:00

Where exactly do i need to put that code you mentioned at?

Ancient Dragon 5,243 Achieved Level 70 Team Colleague Featured Poster · Answer 4 · 2011-04-28T11:20:08+00:00

In the two functions that contain the errors. I posted an example of what needs to be changed.

delete lines 114-124 -- foo() was only the name of a fictiuous function, not one that you would actually use.

This is an example of what you want

void displayLeastEaten(double food[][DAYS])
{
   double leastFood; 
   int leastMonkey;  
   int leastDay;     
   int monkey = 0;  
   leastMonkey = 0;
   leastDay = 0;
   leastFood = food[leastMonkey][leastDay];
   

   for (monkey = 0; monkey < MONKEYS; monkey++)
   {
      for (int day = 0; day < DAYS; day++)
      {
         if (food[monkey][day] < leastFood)
         {
            leastFood = food[monkey][day];
            leastDay = day;
            leastMonkey = monkey;
         }
      }
   }
   
 
   cout << "Monkey number "  << (monkey + 1)
        << " ate the least amount of food,\n"
        << leastFood << " pounds, on day "
        << (leastDay + 1) << endl;
}

That gets rid of the compile error by expanding the scope of monkey but that doesn't solve the real problem, which is that the OP should not have been using monkey on lines 116 and 150 in his original post in the first place. monkey is being used as a loop COUNTER variable in the code. It does NOT signify any meaningful array index. The value of monkey will be the same no matter what the array contents are, hence it should not be used in the printout.

Look for variables that have been declared and calculated in the function, but which are unused in the cout statements.

Line 114 - Looks like the displayLeastEaten function is inside of ANOTHER displayLeastEaten function.
