Question

I created an array for studentrecords and am supposed to pop it into my stack.. well everything works except for my stack.pops and stack.pushes in MAIN…I am so close to finishing this program I am wondering if anyone knows any solutions?

#include <iostream>
#include <list>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cstring>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

class Studentrecords
{
private:
    struct student
    {
        string name;
        string address;
        int ID;
        double gpa;
    };

    student *stackArray;
    int stackSize;
    int top;

public:
    Studentrecords();
    Studentrecords(int size);
    ~Studentrecords();
    void push(string name, string address, int id, double gpa);
    void pop();
    bool isFull() const;
    bool isEmpty() const;
    void display();
};

Studentrecords::Studentrecords(int size)
{
    stackArray = new student[size];
    top = -1;
}

Studentrecords::Studentrecords()
{
    stackSize = 20;
    stackArray = new student[stackSize];
    top = -1;
}

Studentrecords::~Studentrecords()
{
    delete [] stackArray;
}

void Studentrecords::push (string name, string address, int id, double gpa)
{
    if (isFull())
    {
        cout << "The stack is full!" << endl;
    }
    else
    {
        student newStudent;
        newStudent.name = name;
        newStudent.address= address;
        newStudent.ID = id;
        newStudent.gpa = gpa;
        stackArray[top] = newStudent;
        top++;
    }
}

void Studentrecords::pop ()
{
    if (isEmpty())
    {
        cout << "The stack is empty!" << endl;
    }
    else
    {
        cout << stackArray[top-1].name << endl;
        cout << stackArray[top-1].address << endl;
        cout << stackArray[top-1].ID << endl;
        cout << stackArray[top-1].gpa << endl;
        top--;
    }
}

bool Studentrecords::isFull() const
{
    bool status;
    if (top == stackSize - 1)
        status = true;
    else
        status = false;
    return status;
}

bool Studentrecords::isEmpty() const
{
    bool status;
    if (top == -1)
        status = true;
    else
        status = false;
    return status;
}

void Studentrecords::display()
{
    for (int i = 0; i< top; i++)
    {
        cout << stackArray[i].name << endl;
        cout << stackArray[i].address << endl;
        cout << stackArray[i].ID << endl;
        cout << stackArray[i].gpa << endl << endl;
    }
}

int main()
{
    int catchVar;

    Studentrecords stack();

    cout << "Pushing 1st";
    stack.push("Jonny", "123 ave", 2343, 3.2);

    cout << "pushing 2nd";
    stack.push("Robby", "123 ave", 2343, 3.2);

    cout << "Popping ";
    stack.pop(catchVar);
    cout << catchVar << endl;

    cout << "Popping ";
    stack.pop(catchVar);
    cout << catchVar << endl;

    return 0;
}

Answer 1

Studentrecords stack();

Does not declare a Studentrecords named stack, it declares a function named stack that returns a Studentrecords. Change it to

Studentrecords stack;

Also your class needs at least a copy constructor and assignment operator.
