Adding an index and specified number to an array in c++ - c++

Question

I am making a program that removes a number from the index that the user provides from the array, displays the new array, then asks the user to insert a number at whatever index they choose. The first part of this program works fine when it comes to removing an index, but I am having trouble with adding an index and number. For example, if the NEW array after the user deletes the number from index 5 is: 12 34 45 2 8 16 180 182 22, which is correct if you remember that arrays start at 0, then they request for example index 5 to be added again with the number 78, it gets messed up. It displays 12 34 45 2 78 8 16 180 182 22 (and then it also outputs the number -858993460 for some reason?) SO the problem basically is that it adds the new index and number one index BEFORE it is supposed to. Im sorry if this sounds so confusing but I have been stuck on it for hours. Thank you!

The problem is with handling size variable in your code.
Following is corrected code. See it working here:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
const int CAP = 10;
int main()
{
int size;
int list[CAP] = { 12, 34, 45, 2, 8, 10, 16, 180, 182, 22 };
size = CAP;
int i, delIndex, addIndex, newInt = 0;
cout << "Your list is: " << endl;
for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
cout << list[i] << endl;
}
//Deleting an index
cout << "\nPlease enter index to delete from: ";
cin >> delIndex;
for (i = delIndex; i < size; i++)
{
list[i] = list[i + 1];
}
size--;
cout << "The index position you specified has been deleted." << endl;
cout << "The new array is: " << endl;
for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
cout << list[i] << endl;
}
//Adding an index
cout << "\nNow, please enter the index position to add to: " << endl;
cin >> addIndex;
cout << "\nEnter the number to add to the index: " << endl;
cin >> newInt;
for (i = size - 1; i >= addIndex; i--)
{
list[i + 1] = list[i];
}
list[addIndex] = newInt;
size++;
cout << "The number has been added at the specified index position." <<endl;
cout << "The new array is: " << endl;
for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
cout << list[i] << endl;
}
return 0;
}
Note: Since we are talking about index and not position in the array, so it is treated as 0 based and element is added at index addIndex, not at addIndex-1.

Answer 2

There are some loopholes in your program, that you can improve.
You are declaring a constant (CAP), but the array size is changing, so point doing that.
You are printing the array multiple times, its better to use a function, and call it every time, when you need to print the entire array.
You are using literals like 10, in some sections of the program. It is advisable to use the same variable like size or CAP instead of 10 to improve readability.
You can even put insert & delete in functions so that they can be called multiple times.
This is a sample working code, you can take the idea of that. I haven't implemented Step 4, I hope you can do that easily,

cin >> delIndex;
for (i = delIndex; i < CAP - 1; i++)
list[i] = list[i + 1];
CAP--;
cout << "The index position you specified has been deleted." << endl;
cout << "The new array is: " << endl;
printArr(list);
