Declaring an array to be string?

[danielmtnz]

I'm writing this program that basically interprets the rottentomatoes website. I am however having a problem declaring if it is rotten or fresh according to the rating the user enters.

I'm outputting it here:

void PrintAll(const string titles[], const int ratings[], int count)
{
	WriteLine('=', 50);
	cout << "PRINT ALL" << endl;
	WriteLine('-', 50);
    
	for(int i = 0; i < count; i++)
	{
        cout << setw(37) << left << titles[i]
        << setw(2) << left << ratings[i] <<  setw(5) << left << "%"
        << setw(4) << right << RatingToString(ratings, count) << endl;
	}
}

And here is my condition:

string RatingToString(const int ratings[], int count)
{
    string rank;
    for(int i = 0; i < count; i++)
    {
        if(ratings[i] < 60)
        {
            rank = "ROTTEN";
        }
        else
        {
            rank = "FRESH";
        }
    }
    
    return rank;
}

Here is the output:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50

================================================== MENU

1. Add Movie 2. Print All 3. Exit -------------------------------------------------- Enter 1-3 : 1 Title : Hitch Rating : 90 ================================================== MENU -------------------------------------------------- 1. Add Movie 2. Print All 3. Exit -------------------------------------------------- Enter 1-3 : 2 ================================================== PRINT ALL -------------------------------------------------- Hitch 90% FRESH ================================================== MENU -------------------------------------------------- 1. Add Movie 2. Print All 3. Exit -------------------------------------------------- Enter 1-3 : 1 Title : The Hulk Rating : 50 ================================================== MENU -------------------------------------------------- 1. Add Movie 2. Print All 3. Exit -------------------------------------------------- Enter 1-3 : 2 ================================================== PRINT ALL -------------------------------------------------- Hitch 90% ROTTEN The Hulk 50% ROTTEN ================================================== MENU -------------------------------------------------- 1. Add Movie 2. Print All 3. Exit -------------------------------------------------- Enter 1-3 : 3

My condition works when there is only one movie, but when I add more, it gives it the new movies "ROTTEN" or "FRESH" rank. I don't know if this makes sense and if you guys know of a way to fix this? Thank you.

In your function RatingToString:

The string 'rank' is only declared once and is overwritten by each iteration of your loop. This means that the function returns the result of the last iteration (ratings[count-1]).
Try to adjust your function prototype like this:

string RatingToString(int rating)

(of course you need to adjust the function body as well (remove the loop))
and call it like this:

cout << RatingToString(ratings[i]);
