Sorting help, PLEASE (sorting a struct array)

[carpalTunnel]

I am trying to sort a vector from an array. Right now, I am having difficulty saving the vector from the struct array (numArr). I have commented out portions that seem semi funtional; although, I cannot get the vector to output the sorted numbers to each contestants name where they belong, sorted. I am thinking that maybe a sort function would be easier, though I have not had the need to write such before when sorting an array. Can someone who is very familiar with the logic of sorting please help me? This program took a bit of thought and I am at the last stretch of it. All I need to do is sort the array (rivals.numArr).

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <array>
#include <vector>
#include <iterator>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;

struct file_cab
{
	char name[10];
	double num;
	double numArr[9];
	//vector <double> vecX[9];
}rivals[7];

int main ()
{
	ifstream read;
	string file=("scores.txt");
	read.open(file.c_str());
	
	int numNum=0;
	double scoreB=0.0;
	int x;
	int y;
	//vector<double>::const_iterator z;

	for(x=0; x<100; x++)
	{
	read>>numNum;
	if (numNum>0)
	{
	cout<<"Number of Contestants: "<<numNum;
	cout<<endl;
	break;
	}
	}
	for (x=0; x<numNum; x++)
	{
		read>>rivals[x].name>>rivals[x].num;
		cout<<'\n'<<rivals[x].name<< " "<<rivals[x].num<<" ";
		scoreB=0.0;
			for (y=0; y<9; y++)
			{
			read>>rivals[y].numArr[y];
			scoreB+=rivals[y].numArr[y];
			/*rivals[x].vecX[x].push_back(rivals[x].numArr[x]);
			sort(rivals[x].vecX[x].begin(), rivals[x].vecX[x].end());*/
			cout<<rivals[y].numArr[y]<<" ";
			}
		scoreB=scoreB*rivals[x].num;
		cout<<'\n'<<"Score for "<<rivals[x].name<<": "<<scoreB;
		cout<<endl;
	}
	cout<<endl;
	system("pause");
	return 0;
}  

Here is the text file I am using...("scores.txt")

std::sort ( rivals.numArr, rivals.numArr + 9 );

That's a bad joke Yay295. How would you run such a sort without the object specified? (rivals[].numArr[]) is the correct syntax and it is not sorting the numbers to which each rivals scores are. . . : (

[Yay295]

Oops, I didn't notice that rivals was an array.

for ( int i = 0; i < 7; ++i )
    sort ( rivals[i].numArr, rivals[i].numArr + 9 );

edit: I'm taking a longer look at your code. You aren't doing what I thought you were doing, so I'll update this once I figure out what you're doing.

[carpalTunnel]

That doens't work either. This sorting for a struct is much more complicated and probably needs some manual written function of a sort I'm thinking.

[Yay295]

I don't know why you were doing some of the things you were doing, so I changed them. It works now, though it doesn't look like your code anymore.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <string>

struct file_cab
{
    std::string name;
    double num, numArr[9];
};

int main ( )
{
    std::string file = "scores.txt";

    std::ifstream read ( file );
    
    int numNum, x, y;


    read >> numNum;
        
    std::cout << "Number of Contestants: " << numNum << '\n';


    std::vector<file_cab> rivals ( numNum );


    for ( x = 0; x < numNum; ++x ) 
    {
        read >> rivals[x].name >> rivals[x].num;

        std::cout << '\n' << rivals[x].name << ' ' << rivals[x].num << ' ';


        double scoreB = 0;

        for ( y = 0; y < 9; ++y )
        {
            read >> rivals[x].numArr[y];

            scoreB += rivals[x].numArr[y];
        }

        std::sort ( rivals[x].numArr, rivals[x].numArr + 9 );

        for ( y = 0; y < 9; ++y ) std::cout << rivals[x].numArr[y] << ' ';


        std::cout <<"\nScore for " << rivals[x].name << ": " << scoreB * rivals[x].num << '\n';
    }

    std::cout << '\n';
}

Thank you! This has solved more than what I was asking. The idea of creating a vector for the contestants was much better than the objects declared for the struct that I had. I realize that the x's and y's were gettng mixed up in the for loops also. The code would execute; but now I realize it was my logic that was flawing the program. What you have provided and modified is perfect.
I am still learning programming, and sometimes things just get mixed up. You made it so simple. I have much to learn.

I did not know you can use a struct in angle brackets to declare what data type the vector is (or do < > brackets stand for class?). This right here "vector<file_cab> rivals" totally blew my mind and made me feel completely obsolete when it comes to programming. How am I ever going to master this skill? How did you learn how to program?
