So I'm trying to use a structure array, where you input your own values into each variable. The general idea of it is that I want to have the user input 5 different employee names, IDs and annual salaries. The program is intended to output the structure array.
However, my issue is that when I try to output the array, the output seems to only show the last element of the array 5 times over.
All help is appreciated!
p.s. Don't worry about the average function, I wanna figure that one out on my own.
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
struct emp
{
char empName[25];
int id;
float salary;
};
struct emp employee[5];
struct emp *getData();
void printData(struct emp employee[]);
int main()
{
cout << "Enter employee name, ID and Annual Salary: " << endl;
struct emp *p;
p = getData();
printData(employee);
}
struct emp *getData()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
cout << "Employee " << i + 1 << " name: ";
cin >> employee->empName;
cout << "Employee " << i+1 << " ID: ";
cin >> employee->id;
cout << "Employee " << i+1 << " Annual Salary: ";
cin >> employee->salary;
cin.ignore();
cout << endl;
}
return employee;
}
void printData(struct emp employee[])
{
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
cout << "Employee " << i + 1 << ": " << employee->empName << " - " << employee->id << ", Annual Salary: " <<
employee->salary << endl;
}
}
//double getAverage(struct emp[], int)
//{
//
//}
Output
Enter employee name, ID and Annual Salary:
Employee 1 name: Ian
Employee 1 ID: 2345
Employee 1 Annual Salary: 12345
Employee 2 name: John
Employee 2 ID: 2345
Employee 2 Annual Salary: 23456
Employee 3 name: Carla
Employee 3 ID: 23452
Employee 3 Annual Salary: 2345
Employee 4 name: Chloe
Employee 4 ID: 12345
Employee 4 Annual Salary: 2345
Employee 5 name: Josh
Employee 5 ID: 234
Employee 5 Annual Salary: 12345
Employee 1: Josh - 234, Annual Salary: 12345
Employee 2: Josh - 234, Annual Salary: 12345
Employee 3: Josh - 234, Annual Salary: 12345
Employee 4: Josh - 234, Annual Salary: 12345
Employee 5: Josh - 234, Annual Salary: 12345

You are not using any array blocks so all input is going into the first and all output coming from the first.
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
cout << "Employee " << i + 1 << " name: ";
cin >> employee[i].empName;
cout << "Employee " << i+1 << " ID: ";
cin >> employee[i].id;
cout << "Employee " << i+1 << " Annual Salary: ";
cin >> employee[i].salary;
cin.ignore();
cout << endl;
}
return employee;
}
void printData(struct emp employee[])
{
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
cout << "Employee " << i + 1 << ": " << employee[i].empName << " - " << employee[i].id << ", Annual Salary: " <<
employee[i].salary << endl;
}
}
This should fix your code
