Quiz show reset

[suna6382]

Hello! I need some help with reseting the highscore on the quizshow.
the reset program must have: If the user answers 'y', Reset.exe resets the high scores list by writing
the original high scores to the High_Scores.txt file. (If the answer is 'n',
Reset.exe doesn't have to do anything.)

this program has many problems and one of them is that it does not recognize rewrite as a variable and I am not sure if I am rewriting the original high score list correctly. Please help me! Thank you!

[dhayden]

Create a class for the high scores. It should contain
- the 5 high scores and corresponding names
- read() and write() methods to read/write the scores to a stream.
- an int lowest() method to return the lowest high score.
- an add(int score, string &name) method to add a new score to the table.

You already have the code to do all of these things, but putting them in a class will keep the code organized better. Finally, you need to add:
- a void reset() method that resets the high scores to their initial values.

Once you have these methods, you can use them in your program to get the job done.

[dhayden]

Here is your program re-implemented to use the HighScore class I mentioned. Search for "dmh" to see my changes. All you have to do is write the code for the HighScore methods.

There are some errors with this code apparently:(
1. 'numScores' is undefined
2. missing ; before size_t
3. 'HighScore::numScores' is not a type name, static, or enumerator
4. '>=': is signed/unsignd mismatch

This is the new one that I came up with, but it doesn't seems to be working...

Hello, I made a new one that is more of my level, but this code doesn't do the job (resetting the list or responding to Y or N)

[dhayden]

main() must return int, not void.

Lines 43-49: You have declared a reset class, but you never use it or define the methods. Are the 3 functions that follow supposed to be the methods?

Line 81: highScores doesn't do anything because it acts upon the local variables. Local variables get destroyed when you exit the block of code where they're defined. Also, you never call it.

Line 297: reset() never gets called.

Looking at your original post, you talk about reset.exe, which implies that maybe reset is supposed to be a separate program. Is that right?

[suna6382]

This program is so hard...
I have spent so much time in trying to figure it out, but it never works.
This program is a separate one from the original quiz show program. The program that you wrote supposedly had some errors, which I just don't get, because you are a pro.

[dhayden]

Ah! If it's a separate program then it's almost trivial. Just create a new program that writes the following to the high_scores.txt file:

25000 Gwenyth
15000 Adam
7500 Nastasia
4000 Nicolas
2000 Dani

That's all there is to it!

[suna6382]

OMG... I have been overthinking this now that I have figured it out! Thank you for your amazing help!!!
