for loop not working but cant find the error

[ahswong]

this is suppose to be a parallel array and each array contains five elements but i can't see where i went wrong with the for loop. i compiled the code and after the first loop, the code breaks and i immediately exit out of the loop.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

/* function prototypes */

void initializeArrays(string names[], int wins[], int size);
void sortData(string names[], int wins[], int size);
void displayData(string names[], int wins[], int size);


/* main function */

int main() {

    // initializing two arrays
    string teamNames[] = {};
    int teamWins[] = {};
    int teamSize = 5;

    initializeArrays(teamNames, teamWins, teamSize);

    return 0;
}


/* function definitions */

void initializeArrays(string names[], int wins[], int size) {

    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
    {
        cout << "Enter team #" << i+1 << ": ";
        cin >> names[i];
        cout << "Enter the win for team #" << i+1 << ": ";
        cin >> wins[i];
    }

}

void sortData(string names[], int wins[], int size) {

}

void displayData(string names[], int wins[], int size) {

}

To declare an array of 5 blank strings you should write

const int size = 5;
string teamNames[size];

i fixed that. thanks!

That's why I always recommend using some programs like checkamrx to detect errors. Of course, the best way is to program slowly and detect each bug before it happens.
