Question

i want to store different type of value in an 2d array using getline.

however, there is an error..

the error message is " error: no matching function for call to ‘getline(std::istream&, double&, char)’"

below is the whole error message..

pj2.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
pj2.cpp:37:59: error: no matching function for call to ‘getline(std::istream&, double&, char)’
pj2.cpp:37:59: note: candidates are:
/usr/include/c++/4.6/bits/basic_string.tcc:1070:5: note: template<class _CharT, class _Traits, class _Alloc> std::basic_istream<_CharT, _Traits>& std::getline(std::basic_istream<_CharT, _Traits>&, std::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>&, _CharT)
/usr/include/c++/4.6/bits/basic_string.h:2734:5: note: template<class _CharT, class _Traits, class _Alloc> std::basic_istream<_CharT, _Traits>& std::getline(std::basic_istream<_CharT, _Traits>&, std::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>&)

and then below is my codes....

can someone help me to store without error message?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

struct data
{
        string name;
        double area;
        int population;
        double dencity;
};       

int main()
{
        struct data a;
        a.name;
        a.area;
        a.population;
        a.dencity;

        string array[ 3 ][ 4 ];
        int i, j;
        for( i = 0; i < 4; i++ )
        {
                for( j = 0; j <= 4; j++ )
                {
                        if( j == 1)
                        {
                                getline( cin, a.area, '|' );
                                array[ i ][ j ] = a.area;
                        }
                        if( j == 3 )
                        {
                                getline( cin, a.dencity, '|' );
                               
                                array[ i ][ j ] = a.dencity;
                        }
                               
                        getline( cin, a.name, '|' );
                        array[ i ][ j ] = a.name;
                        cout << array[ i ][ j ];                                              
                }               
        }
        return 0;
}

Explanation / Answer

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

struct data{
string name;
double area;
int population;
double dencity;
};   

int main(){
data a;
string array[3][4];
int i, j;
string s;
for( i = 0; i < 3; i++ ){
for( j = 0; j < 4; j++ ){
if( j == 1){
getline(cin,s, '|' );
a.area = atof(s.c_str());
array[i][j] = a.area;
}
else if( j == 3 ){
getline( cin, s, '|' );
a.dencity = atof(s.c_str());
array[i][j] = a.dencity;
}
else if (j == 0){
getline( cin, s, '|' );
a.population = atoi(s.c_str());
array[i][j] = a.population;
}
else{
getline( cin, a.name, '|' );
array[i][j] = a.name;
}
}   
}
return 0;
}
