搜索多维数组

Question

I've created a multi-dimensional array in C++, but it doesn't return anything when I search it. Just wondering if I messed something up in the code? Full disclosure: This was originally a class assignment, but I turned it in 2 weeks ago. I'm asking for clarification for future programs.

I've put the main body (minus some of the list since it's 1000 entries) below

#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char** argv) {

    std::string name;
    std::string age;


    //declare 1000*2 Array     
    std::string array[1000][2] = 
   {
      { "Karen Rose","25"       },
{   "Cora Faison","11"      },
{   "Donna Jones","49"      },
{   "Robert Lowe","31"      },
{   "Patricia Johnston","17"    },
{   "Maryanne Hicks","40"       },
{   "James Mcmurray","53"       },

};

    cout << "Enter a name to search for " << endl;
    cin >> name;

    for(int i = 0; i > 1000; i++)
    {
        if(name == array[i][0])
        {
            age = array[i][1];
            cout << name << "'s age is" << age << endl;
        }
        else
        {
            cout << "we found nothing" << endl;
    }

}

 return 0;
}

Answer 1

Beyond having your loop test backward, using cin >> name will only get the first name. You test first and last. Thus your tests will never succeed.

Use std::getline .

Doing a modicum of debugging work would have turned up both errors.

Answer 2

for(int i = 0; i > 1000; i++) should be for(int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) . The way you wrote it your for loop will never be executed.

Answer 3

I > 1000 makes your loop empty. < is the ooerator you want.

But anyway why 1000 and not 7?
