I have two questions with this code:

Question

void main{
int counter = 0;
int registeredStudents [10];
while (counter < 10) {
cout << "Student #" << counter + 1 << ":\n";
cin >> registeredStudents [counter];
counter++;
}
}

1. It won't let me use void for the main function.
2. The program allows me to give the first input for the array, but then just prints "Student #2:", "Student #3", etc. without letting me give more input.

Thanks if you can give some answers!

Answer 1

1. Try change main function to int main()
2. Don't use while loop, try use for loop

Hope it may help you ~

Answer 2

In my opinion, mostly void use for the function, and it have its own parameter and return value to the main.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

Thanks Chee Chang Long; BTW I know that you usually use int for the main function, I was just wondering why I can't use void as an alternative.

Answer 4

Chee Chang Long thanks!

Answer 5

Chee Chang Long I tried using the for loop but the same error still occurred.

Answer 6

Can you let me see your code ?

Answer 7

Chee Chang Long it's at the top. 🙃

Answer 8

I mean the your code after add for loop.
Nevermind here the examples,

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int registeredStudents [10];
for(int i =1; i<11; i++)
{
cout<<"Student "<< i << " :";
cin>>registeredStudents[i];
}
return 0;
}

Answer 9

Chee Chang Long yes it's just like that, just that "i" is named "counter".

Answer 10

Don't use Sololearn console. It cant support for getting user input more than one.
Try use other online C++ compiler
