I want to get the size of the array from the user, but when I'm using (float *temp = new float[size];), I got an error "expression must have integral or unscoped enum type." When I input the number, it working nicely up until to the range number. After that, start from deviation to the standard deviation, the calculation all messed up.
If I use int for the 'size' and keep the 'temp' as float, it gave me different error.
How can I fix this?
This question is related to
c++
Your variable size is declared as: float size;
You can't use a floating point variable as the size of an array - it needs to be an integer value.
You could cast it to convert to an integer:
float *temp = new float[(int)size];
Your other problem is likely because you're writing outside of the bounds of the array:
float *temp = new float[size];
//Getting input from the user
for (int x = 1; x <= size; x++){
cout << "Enter temperature " << x << ": ";
// cin >> temp[x];
// This should be:
cin >> temp[x - 1];
}
Arrays are zero based in C++, so this is going to write beyond the end and never write the first element in your original code.
