Is there any problem concerning that code

Question

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int agents,time,add;
string name,people;
char me;
time = 20;
cin>>name;
cin>>agents;
cin>>people;
me=name[0];
add=0;
long unsigned int i=0;
for(i=0;i<people.size();i++) {
if(isupper(people[i])) {
if(people[i]<me) {
add++;
}
}
if (add==0)
cout<<20;
else if(add%agents==0) {
cout<<add/agents*time;
}
else {
cout<<add/agents*time+20;
}
}
return 0;

Answer 1

Ahmed Jezi ,

the code has to be reworked since there are several issues listed down:

▪︎input with cin >> people truncates input at the first occurring space. the input for the 4 peoples:
Adam Caroline Rebecca Frank
stores only "Adam" in the variable. it is better to use getline(...).
▪︎after having get this correctly, the input string with the 4 names has to be split to a vector (or an other suitable data structure), after this
the vector has to be sorted, as demanded in the task description.
▪︎then you have to find the position of your name in the sorted list.
▪︎then calculate the time it will take until it is your turn

(this description may not be complete. if you have any doubts, use additional outputs in code to see the variables content as a kind of debugging)

happy coding and good success!
