Main function error

[Soko San]

Sorry for bothering :( but another error happened when I tried to write the main function.
It says : error C2228: left of '.getLoadFactor' must have class/struct/union type

Not calling loadfactor is the only problem but when I try to call any one of them (insert,remove...)
Anyone know what this mean? And especially HOW to fix it??

The error is here:

HASH STUDENT();

This is a call to the HASH default constructor. The compiler creates a temporary HASH object for this statement, calls the HASH constructor, and then deletes the temporary object at the end of the statement.

Just do this:

HASH STUDENT;

This tells the compiler to create a local variable of type HASH named STUDENT and then to call the default HASH constructor to initialize the variable.

Ok I did what u said the error has gone but a run time error has happened why???? is there anything wrong with my array??? what should I do??

Can u show how to write a good main function to test this implementation??

Probably you are going outside the array bounds.

There are no checks in your code to make sure you are inside your array.

My first suggestion is to use std::string instead of arrays. std::string has all the protective code needed to stay inside the array used by std::string.

Otherwise, you step through the code using your debugger to see where the crash occurs.

As to testing, that's a big subject. I would suggest that you test using data that you know is smaller than your arrays. When you get it working this way, then you can provide data designed too provoke a crash.
