Power C++ inputting multiple strings

Hi All,

We've been given the exercise below and I'm stumbling at the first block because we have to take in 20 student names and I don't know how to store them! Smilie

I know that I can create (initialize) 20 different char arrays but this seems wrong somehow...

What's the best way to store these string inputs?

Thanks, p.

Quote:
Design, code and test a program, which accepts the names and examination marks
of 20 students, determine the grade for each student [Distinction (70 to 100), a
Merit (55 to 69), a Pass (45 to 54) fail (below 45). And displays the students’
names, their marks and grades. The output should look like:
Code:
Name Mark Grade
===== ===== =====
Sam 78 Distinction
Joe 54 Pass
………..


3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):

Code:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
	char aName[15];
	int aMark[15], iIndex;
	char cName;

	cout << "Enter Name and Mark: " << endl;

	for (iIndex = 0; iIndex < 15; iIndex++)
	{
		cout << "Enter Name: ";
		cin >> aName;


	}

	// test output
	for (iIndex = 0; iIndex < 6; iIndex++)
	{
		cout << "Name Array output: " << aName[iIndex] << endl;
		cout << "Mark Array output: " << aMark[iIndex] << endl;
	}

	return 0;
}

(obviously the above doesn't work...)

Farnborough Tech - UK (C++ practitioners diploma)... Note this is NOT coursework it's just one of the examples we're given to work thru...

Thanks!
