double Array in Class?

[ilian.bonov]

My program is working perfectly but when I want to initialize the default constructor which is all zero's
it prints -9.25596e+061 .
Hier is the code :

class Sales
{
private: 
static const int QUARTERS = 4;


public:
double sales[QUARTERS];
double average;
double max;
double min;
Sales();
Sales( double ar[]); 
void setSales(Sales & s, const double ar[]);
void setSales(Sales & s);
void showSales(const Sales & s);
};


Sales::Sales() 

{ 

double sales[]=
{
0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0
           };


}

What's the problem?

Thank you in advance!    

Thank you in advance!

Just initialize it in a loop. In the constructor you are declaring a new local variable for the constructor named sales. It will also be a good idea of having all your variables for the class being private instead of public.

for(int i =0 ; i < QUARTERS; i++)
{
    sales[i]=0.0;
}

thanks now it works but it doesn't make sense it's the same thing but other way of writing

[NathanOliver]

It is not the same thing

Sales::Sales()
{
    double sales[] = {0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0};
}

The above code creates an double array called sales in the constructor which hides the sales array that is a member of the class. Once the constructor is done this local array that has all zeros is deleted.

Sales::Sales()
{
    for(int i =0 ; i < QUARTERS; i++)
    {
        sales[i]=0.0;
    }
}

This code uses a loop and sets each element of the sales array that is a member of Sales to 0.

thank you!

sorry for asking again but it turned out that this is not the only problem it is the same problem with the second constructor i assign again zeros and it prints -9.25596e+061

Sales::Sales(double ar[4]) 
{

    for (int i=0 ; i<4 ; i++)
        ar[i]=sales[i];
    double n=0;

    for(int i=0;i<4;i++)
    {
        if(ar[i]>n)
        n=ar[i];
     }
    max=n;
    double j=max;
    for(int i=0;i<4;i++)
    {
        if(ar[i]<j)
            {
                j=ar[i];
                min=j;
            }

    }

    double sum=0;

for(int i=0;i<4;i++)
    {
    sum += ar[i];
    }
     average=sum/4;
    }

[NathanOliver]

Line 5 should be sales[i] = ar[i]. All subsequent uses of ar[i] should be replaced with sales[i].

[ilian.bonov]

doesn't make any difference same result as the previous

[NathanOliver]

what is in ar[] when you pass it to your constructor? Can you post the code that is not working? You need to be a little more detialed with your question/problem when posting. Having to play 20 questions is not something I want to do. You need to have a clear explanation as to what is not working and all relevent code. Don't post all of the code just what we need to see how it works.

I tried to write a second constructor that should pass an array "ar" to be used. And the constructor should store information in the members average, max and min.
