My program prints the address of the pointer rather than the value

I had it working correctly before I implemented the do while. I thought using delete to free up the space would work, but it doesn't for some reason. So my question is how do I print the value of the pointer in a do while loop?

Line 62,63: majorGradeValue and MajorCredits are int arrays. This is why you're getting pointers being printed. If you want the values, then use an index.

  cout<<"major grade value is "<<majorGradeValue[i]<<endl;
  cout<<"major credits is "<<majorCredits[i]<<endl;

Thanks man, your hint made realize the real crux of the problem. I actually had to assign the values of majorSumCredits and majorSumGradeValue within the if statement above it.
