Question

It is working when i change it to search by points or some other integer, but I have to make it to search by name and country. The function is checking the array which already has data in it.

void search (competitor competitors[], int number)  
{
if(number==0)
{
    cout<<"\n Array is empty!!!\n";
    return;
}

char country[50];
char name[50];
char choice;
bool flag;

do{
    cout << "\n\n Enter country: " << endl;
    cin >> country;
    cout << " Enter name: " << endl;
    cin >> name;

    flag = false;

    for(int i=0; i<number; i++)
    {
        if( country==competitors[i].country && name==competitors[i].name)
        {
            count << " Competitor found!" << endl;
        }
    }
    if (flag == false)

    cout << " Want to search again(Y/N)?: ";
    cin >> choice;

}while(choice == 'Y' || choice == 'y');

}

I am assuming that competitors[i].country (name) is a char[].

You cannot compare char[] arrays using == (that will compare the base addresses of the array, not the content), you must strcmp(). Or, as this is C++, use std::string instead of char[] and use ==.
