C++ class loop in main - c++

Question

I need help in a simple way of solving a part of my code that i cant seem to make it work.The point of my "assignment" is that everything must try to be in one class.Now the problem i am having is at a part of my code where it is suppose to "print" the n number of products meaning that it displays what you have inputted in the void get() part,but the problem i cant seem to resolve is it only prints the last name,amount,weight of the product and not everything written.
class Class
{
public:
string name;
int n, amount;
float weight;
void market()
{
cout << "Give the number of products you want to get at Market : " << endl;
cin >> n;
}
void get()
{
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
cout << "Give product name,amount and weight : " << endl;
cin >> name >> amount >> weight;
}
}
void print()
{
cout << "\nProduct display:\n" << endl;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
cout << name << " - " << amount << " , " << weight << " kg" << endl;
cout << "------------------------" << endl;
}
};
};
The main part.
int main()
{
Class market;
market.market();
market.get();
market.print();
}

Answer 1

You're actually overwriting name, amount and weight. You have to make use of something similar to std::vector:
class Class {
public:
std::vector<string> names;
// Same for others
When you get them from std::cin you have to push them into the vector:
names.push_back(name);
amounts.push_back(amount);
weights.push_back(weight);
When printing you loop over the vectors:
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
cout << names[i] << " - " << amounts[i] << " , " << weights[i] << " kg" << endl;
cout << "------------------------" << endl;
}

Answer 2

You must use a std::vector<TYPE> (example 1), or array for holding multiple data in a single variable (example 2).
Example 1
Since you've been coding in C++ programming language, it's highly recommended to use std::vector<> for best results.
Consider the class example (read comments too):
int count = 0; // PRIVATE SECTION
char ask;
std::vector<std::string> name;
std::vector<int> amount;
std::vector<float> weight;
std::string tName; // temp variables
int tAmount;
float tWeight;
public:
void market()
{
cout << "WELCOME!" << endl; // nothing's required with vector
}
void get()
{
do {
cout << "Give product name, amount and weight : " << endl;
cin >> tName >> tAmount >> tWeight; // getting temporary variables
name.push_back(tName); // assigning
amount.push_back(tAmount);
weight.push_back(tWeight);
count++;
cout << "Add more? (Y/n): "; // add more? Go on if yes...
cin >> ask;
} while (ask == 'Y' || ask == 'y');
}
void print()
{
cout << "\nProduct display:\n"
<< endl;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
cout << name[i] << " - " << amount[i] << " , " << weight[i] << " kg" << endl;
cout << "------------------------" << endl;
}
}
Sample Output
WELCOME!
Give product name, amount and weight :
ABC 12 55.5
Add more? (Y/n): y
Give product name, amount and weight :
SSD 33 43.2
Add more? (Y/n): n
Product display:
ABC - 12 , 55.5 kg
------------------------
SSD - 33 , 43.2 kg
------------------------
Example 2
You can do the same thing just with few modifications, but having static number isn't considered dynamic. You can use arrays for your program as stated below.
Rather than:
string name;
int n, amount;
float weight;
Consider const int MAX = 1024; and use (class variables must be visible only inner the class and nowhere else):
private: // declare on top of the class ("private:" is by default and redundant)
string name[MAX];
int n, amount[MAX];
float weight[MAX];
Edited & working example class:
void get()
{
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
cout << "Give product name,amount and weight : " << endl;
cin >> name[i] >> amount[i] >> weight[i];
}
}
void print()
{
cout << "\nProduct display:\n"
<< endl;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
cout << name[i] << " - " << amount[i] << " , " << weight[i] << " kg" << endl;
cout << "------------------------" << endl;
}
}
Sample Output
Give the number of products you want to get at Market :
2
Give product name,amount and weight :
ABC 25 102
Give product name,amount and weight :
BDE 22 333
Product display:
ABC - 25 , 102 kg
------------------------
BDE - 22 , 333 kg
------------------------
