Hello murasaki98,

Here is a tip for you. This keeps the initialization more to the left of the screen and a little easier to visualize.

double scores[NUM_STUDENTS][NUM_SCORES]
{ 
    { 9.0, 2.7, 16.0, 78.0 },
    { 7.4, 2.7, 19.0, 88.0 },
    { 8.9, 3.5, 17.5, 93.7 },
    { 10.0, 3.0, 19.5, 64.8 },
    { 6.3, 3.0, 16.0, 74.2 }
};

In your function:

void ascenDescen(string NAME[], double table[][NUM_SCORES], int rows, string MARK[])
{
    cout <<
        "\nPress ENTER to sort the students based on their marks for all tests, quizzes, assignments\n"
        "and final exam in ASCENDING and DESCENDING order.\n"
        "Enter E/e if you wish to skip.: ";

    //char enter;  // <--- Never used.
    //cin.ignore();

I changed the "cout" statement so that it was shorter across the screen and did not wrap around in the middle of a word. You can also write this as 1 statement.

The first problem is: temp1==NAME;. "==" means to compare, but you are not doing anything with the returned value of the compare which makes the line mostly useless.

Did you mean: temp1 = NAME;.
which means assign, but you still have a problem. "temp1" and "NAME" are arrays and you can not use "=" to set 1 array equal to the other. What you should have is: temp1[0] = NAME[0];, but still this is not enough.

What I did is take the for loop at lines 78 - 81 and copy that then put it at line 52. I deleted lines 41 and 42. Line 41 is never used and line 42 is not needed. Line 42 causes you to press enter twice.

The beginning of the function looks like this:

{
    cout <<
        "\nPress ENTER to sort the students based on their marks for all tests, quizzes, assignments\n"
        "and final exam in ASCENDING and DESCENDING order.\n"
        "Enter E/e if you wish to skip.: ";

    if (cin.get() == '\n')
    {
        double ascen;

        string temp1[5];
        //temp1[0] = NAME[0];
        string temp2;

        for (int i = 0; i < NUM_STUDENTS; i++)
        {
            temp1[i] = NAME[i];
        }

        std::cout << '\n';
    
        //for ascending
        cout << "\tASCENDING ORDER" << endl;


And produced the output of:

THANK YOU.

The first blank line is because of the way I used the "output" tag, but your output might look better if you put that blank line in your code.
