I'm getting one error in my code

In the ReadStudents function for "Student Student { _id, c, _fname, _lname, _cname, _Icount };" I'm getting an error for the curly brackets.

The constructor expects the second argument to be of type gender but you're passing an int.

[coder777]

Line 63: Pass _g instead of c. The compiler is basically complaining about the wrong type passed to the constructor.

[seeplus]

L63 - replace c with _g
L62 - note the first assignment to _g isn't needed as the if statement has an else

[hshdhjsj12345]

@Peter87 thanks for pointing that out. One more thing, for the getFemales and getLowAttendance functions, it asks to return a value while I'm already using the print function. What should I return then without changing the void type?

[Peter87]

Printing is not the same as returning. Functions named "get" should normally not print anything at all. Instead use the return keyword to return what it is you want to return, like you did with the "get" member functions of the Student class.

[hshdhjsj12345]

but how do I return a vector of classes, do I do each member individually?

[Peter87]

No you just return the whole vector.

std::vector<int> getNumbers()
{
	std::vector<int> nums = {1, 2, 3};
	return nums;
}

[seeplus]

I'd suggest having an additional function eg displayStudent(const Student& s) to display the details of the passed student. This can then be used by the 3 current functions that show student details.

You need to decide what the functions getFemales() and getLowAttendence() are supposed to do. Do they find the appropriate students and display their details - or find the appropriate students and return a vector of them? If return a vector then main() will need to display them. get functions usually return something and print/display functions generally don't.

[hshdhjsj12345]

but how do I return a vector of classes?

[seeplus]

Yes - but that prints all students. if getLowAttendence() etc is to display the students (as opposed to return them) then:

void getLowAttendance(const vector<Student>& stds) {
    for (int i = 0; i < stds.size(); ++i)
        if (stds[i].getIcount() < 20)
            displayStudent(stds[i]);
}

However, if getxxx return a vector, then something like (not tried):

vector<Student> getLowAttendance(const vector<Student>& stds) {
    vector <Student> stl;

    for (int i = 0; i < stds.size(); ++i)
        if (stds[i].getIcount() < 20)
            stl.push_back(stds[i]);

    return stl;
}
...
//in main

    printStudents(getLowAttendance(stds_vector));

In this case then yes, displayStudent() isn't needed.

PS The previous post referred to has now been removed.

PPS printStudents should pass by const reference

void printStudents(const vector<Student>& stds)

NOTE. I've now realised that the class Student has a member function print() which does what my displayStudent() would do - so print() should be used instead.

[hshdhjsj12345]

if (stds[i].getIcount() < 20)

error in stds for some reason. I like your idea though, I remember doing something similar for a previous exercise

[Peter87]

but how do I return a vector of classes?

There is no difference. Just make sure the vector contains the objects that you want to return and return it.

PS The previous post referred to has now been removed.

I'm sorry. I realized my mistake and removed it soon after posting it.

PPS printStudents should pass by const reference

The main reason for this is to avoid creating unnecessary copies which can be slow if the vector contains many elements. You might want to do the same with the std::string parameters for the same reason.

[seeplus]

.getIcount() needs to be defined as const in the class defrinition- as stds is now const.

All the class getxxx functions should be defined as const

int getIcount() const { return Icount; }

There are various other issues with the code. Consider this, but not tested as no test data provided:

	void setfname(const string& _fname) { fname = _fname; }
	string getfname() const {return fname; }
	void setlname(const string& _lname) { lname = _lname; }

	void setid(const string& _id) { id = _id; }
	string getid() const { return id; }
