Help with multiple arrays!!!

pbfj22 (6)
Hi all,

For my assignment, I need to add the job name, actor name and salary for a casting agency. I guess the multiple array here would be the job name and actor name. I'm stuck at this part: talent[jobname][talentname] = ???. How do I save this data as well as salary into this array?

 #include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	string talent [100][1000];
	double sal [1000];
	int count = 0;

	int choice = 1;
	while (choice != 0)
	{
		cout << endl;
		cout << "1 - Add a New Record" << endl;
		cout << "2 - Display Talents by Job" << endl;
		cout << "3 - Display All" << endl;
		cout << "0 - Exit" << endl;
		
		cout << "What do you want to do: ";
		cin >> choice;

		if (choice == 1)
		{

		}
		else if (choice == 2)
		{

		}
		else if (choice == 3)
		{

		}
		else if (choice == 0)
		{
			cout << "Bye bye!" << endl;
		}
	}
	system("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}

void addrecord(string talent[100][1000], double sal[1000], int &count)
{
	string jobname;
	cout << "Enter job name: ";
	cin >> jobname;

	string talentname;
	cout << "Enter talent name: ";
	cin >> talentname;

	double payment;
	cout << "Enter payment: ";
	cin >> payment;

	talent[jobname][talentname] = 
}

Why not just use parallel arrays for this project? Instead of a multi-dimension array. Assuming you can use structs or classes yet.

Motobus, yeah I realized I was overthinking it quite a bit, haha. Thanks for putting me back on track and saving me a headache!

another question now though, I'm trying to find the average of salaries of people with the same job name, however, I'm not sure how to set the denominator up. When I use i, the average just displays as the total. How can I fix this?

void search(string jobName[], string talentName[], double salary[], int count)
{
	// Get User Inputs
	string jobname;
	cout << "Enter job name: ";
	cin >> jobname;

	// Declaration of Variables
	double total = 0;
	double high = -9999;
	double low = 9999;
	double average = 0;

	bool found = false;

	for (int i=0; i < count; i++)
	{
		if (jobName[i] == jobname)
		{
			cout << talentName[i] << " paid $" << salary[i] << endl;
			found = true;
			total += salary[i]; // sum of all salaries with jobName[i]
			average = total/i; // average of all salaries with jobName[i]
			if (high < salary[i])
			{
				high = salary[i]; // high of all salaries with jobName[i]
			}
			if (low > salary[i])
			{
				low = salary[i]; // low of all salaries with jobName[i]
			}
		}
	}

Just make a separate counter variable. Each time to find the jobName you are searching for increment it then use that to divide into your total to get your average.
