This program isn't asking for the predetermined 5 numbers from the array?
- by user1801781
Okay, so this question is difficult to state.
I'm a beginner at C++, and I rarely run into problems with these simple assignments, but something is majorly wrong here and I cannot identify it. I've been trying for hours.
This program is supposed to read 5 numbers from an array that the user enters, and then print the largest one.
(I know it's easier to just write a for-loop, but our professor wanted us to call a function).
The only problem is that instead of asking for 5 numbers, it asks for 2. It works other than that, I JUST NEED IT TO ASK FOR 5 NUMBERS. haha.
Your input would be greatly appreciated. I aspire to be a programmer one day, so don't be afraid to go harsh on me.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int largest_number(int score[], int max)
{
for (int i=1; i<5; i++)
{
cin >> score[i];
if(score[i] > max)
max=score[i];
return (max);
}
}
int main ()
{
int score[5], max, z;
cout << "Enter 5 numbers: " <<endl;
cin >> score[0];
max = score[0];
z = largest_number(score, max);
cout << "The largest number is: " << z <<endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}
