I've been learning to program for a few months now and I've been working on a program to manage student data. Here's the code:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;
class Student

if (grade >= 90)
grade = 'A';
else if (grade >= 80)
grade = 'B';
else if (grade >= 70)
grade = 'C';
else if (grade >= 60)
grade = 'D';
else
grade = 'F';
}

}
} while (num > 0);
return 0;
}
Ideally, when the program runs, the user chooses an option, with different function calls depending on the number entered. The Add Data option works fine, but when choosing others, such as List Data or Search Data, I run into an error such as: Unhandled exception thrown: read access violation. _Pnext was 0x10A6A04.
Code in xmemory:
inline void _Container_base12::_Orphan_all() noexcept {
#if _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL == 2
if (_Myproxy != nullptr) { // proxy allocated, drain it
_Lockit _Lock(_LOCK_DEBUG);
for (_Iterator_base12** _Pnext = &_Myproxy->_Myfirstiter; *_Pnext != nullptr;
*_Pnext = (*_Pnext)->_Mynextiter) {
(*_Pnext)->_Myproxy = nullptr;
}
_Myproxy->_Myfirstiter = nullptr;
}
Given there are no obvious errors in the code, I'd like a little help in figuring out what I've done wrong.

You must not remove items from a list while iterating through a range-based for loop. Under the hood, the loop stores a begin and end iterator of the original list, and iterate all items between them, and attempting to remove items during the loop will make end unreachable.
Instead, you could simply use std::list::remove_if to remove all elements that satisfy a certain condition:
my_list.remove_if([a, b](const auto& element){
return element.a == a && element.b == b;
};
The code below was modified based on my original one to fix an error thanks to #RemyLebeau.
It woks great but a new issue have showed up where when I want to delete a student data using option 4 from the menu, after entering their ID, it says their data is deleted but its not. And at the end of the console the message "error reading data from file", under the Standard Error Stream (cerr), keeps showing up. And all my tries to fix it failed.

The error is because fin ( in deleteData () function) runs till the end of file , and at the end fin stores nullptr(boolean conversion to false) that is why else statement runs.And its obvious that why the while loop breaks .
for checking if the file is open or not you can use if(fin.is_open()) for fin and similarly for fout like if(fout.is_open())
The following is a code to enter some details of students into a text file and from the main menu, the user can display them using option 2.
My problem is in the section where it should display all the "Taken Courses by student".
When I choose to display all data, the "mentioned section using the for loop only display the last value I enter when writing to the file.
How can I make it display all my entries?
The issue is under the showdata and displaydata functions.

Console Display with problem
Your Student class can only hold 1 set of course information. Your getData() loop is overwriting the same variables over and over, that is why you only see the last course entered. You need to allocate an array (or better, use a std::vector) to hold multiple courses per Student.
There are other problems with your code as well.
Try something more like this instead:

Right now my problem seems to be focused on the saveFile function.
I will post the entire program here, so dont be ired when see a whole bunch of code... just look at the saveFile function at the bottom... I am posting all the code JUST IN CASE it will help you help me solve my problem.
Now for defining the apparent problem to you all: I can edit the file throughout the life of the console app with the updateSale function as I run it, but when I use the saveFile function and put in 'y' to save, the differences that are visible after using the updateSales function DO NOT get saved to the actual sales file called "salespeople.txt" and I do not understand why.
this is what the salespeople.txt looks like:
Schrute 25000
Halpert 20000
Vance 19000
Hudson 17995.5

You are trying t open your file twice:
ofstream saveFile(fileName.c_str()); // this opens the file
saveFile.open(fileName.c_str()); // so does this
That will put the file in an error state so no writing will happen.
Just do this:
ofstream saveFile(fileName.c_str()); // this opens the file
And that should work.
Or else you can do this:
ofstream saveFile; // this does not open the file
saveFile.open(fileName.c_str()); // but this does
And that should work too.
This code is supposed to display a menu with 6 options. create new file, display numbers, total, and average, display a sort, search for a num and tell yow how many occurrences it had, append random numbers, and display largest.
It runs and does MOST of what it is supposed to do but I just CANNOT get the searchNum function to search for the number entered.

Can anyone please help with this?
I can see 2 problems in searchNum function:
The file is opened but num array is not populated with the file content
numCount will always return either 0 or 1. Remove 'found' boolean variable altogether and it will then return the correct numCount value.
Here are some important rules they never seem to teach in programming courses: start with something small and simple that works, add complexity a little at a time, and develop new functionality in isolation.
Suppose you have the rest of the code working perfectly, and you can produce a file called nums.txt that looks like this:
7
9
3
8
0
2
4
8
3
9
Now you want to develop and test the searchNum function. So you write a main function like this:
int main()
{
string myFileName = "nums";
searchNum(myFileName);
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
Then a searchNum function:
void searchNum(string myFileName)
{
}
You compile and run this, it does nothing, so far so good.
Now have it open the file, read the first number and display it:
void searchNum(string myFileName)
{
ifstream inFile;
inFile.open(myFileName + "txt");
int num;
inFile >> num;
cout << num << endl;
}
So far so good. Now iterate through the whole file:
void searchNum(string myFileName)
{
ifstream inFile;
inFile.open(myFileName + "txt");
int num;
while(inFile >> num)
{
cout << num << endl;
}
}
So far so good. Now count the 8's:
void searchNum(string myFileName)
{
ifstream inFile;
inFile.open(myFileName + "txt");
int num;
int count = 0;
while(inFile >> num)
{
cout << num << endl;
if(num == 8)
++count;
}
}
You get the idea. Using this approach you'll get clean working code, and you'll get it faster than by trying to write it all and then fix all the bugs.
A couple of things I noticed also in searchNum
inFile.open(myFileName + "txt"); should be inFile.open(myFileName + ".txt");, a dot is missing from the suffix.
Read the rest of the answers and get acquainted with the debugger it will save you a lot of time and frustration.
Here is your code sample with the needed corrections. Keep up the good work and invest some time for the use of a debugger.
