Initialize member in print() from another function - c++

Question

Not sure where I am at the moment, trying to figure it out. I need to initialize the members in print() const as it is giving me random gibberish. No matter what I try to do, it does not seem to work. Not sure what to even do. Can anyone give me a hand?
*edit: Added in the rest of the code. Forgot it when I submitted the first time.
Student.cpp
#include "student.h"
//implement the required 3 functions here
Student::Student(const char initId[], double gpa)
{
// initialize a newly created student object with the passed in value
}
bool Student::isLessThanByID(const Student& aStudent) const
{
// compare the current student object with the passed in one by id.
if (strcmp(id, aStudent.id) > 0)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
bool Student::isLessThanByGpa(const Student& aStudent) const
{
// compare the current student object with the passed in one by gpa
if (gpa < aStudent.gpa)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
void Student::print() const
{
cout << id << '\t' << gpa << endl;
}
student.h
#ifndef STUDENT_H
#define STUDENT_H
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Student
{
public:
Student(const char initId[], double gpa);
bool isLessThanByID(const Student& aStudent) const;
bool isLessThanByGpa(const Student& aStudent) const;
void print()const;
private:
const static int MAX_CHAR = 100;
char id[MAX_CHAR];
double gpa;
};
#endif
app.cpp
#include "student.h"
int main()
{
Student s1("G10", 3.9);
Student s2("G20", 3.5);
s1.print();
s2.print();
if(s1.isLessThanByID(s2))
{
cout << "about right!" << endl;
}
else
{
cout << "uhmm ..." << endl;
}
if(!s1.isLessThanByGpa(s2))
{
cout << "about right!" << endl;
}
else
{
cout << "uhmm ..." << endl;
}
system("pause");
return 0;
}

There is nothing in that code that sets the values of Student::id and Student::gpa. Your constructor has parameters initId and gpa; you should copy those into your object. Based on the declaration of Student that you provided, something this should be appropriate:
Student::Student(const char initId[], double gpa) : gpa(gpa)
{
strncpy(id, initId, Student::MAX_CHAR-1);
id[Student::MAX_CHAR-1] = '\0';
}
