Loop Issues

[Kindle Life 123]

My loop keeps on repeating inspite of typing N=1.

here is the code..

void club::enterdata () {
std::cout<<"Ent er details";
std::cin>>mno>> memname>>activi ty;

this is the function... and this is the funcion in which this function is called..

void club::writeinto ()
{
club c{};
int N, i = 0;
std::ofstream fout( "project.da t", std::ios::binar y );
if( ! fout )
{
std::cout<<"Err or";
}
while(!fout.eof ())
{
std::cout << "Enter the number of records to be entered";
std::cin >> N;
for(i=0;i<=N;i+ +) {
c.enterdata();
}
fout.write( (char*)&c, sizeof(c) );
}
fout.close();
}

here is the output..

Enter the number of records to be entered 1
Enter details 12 hka abc
Enter details

Pls help me out..

On the first of the loop i is 0 and N is 1, therefore i<= N is true.

Therefore, enter the loop.


Now i is 1 and N is 1, therefore i<=N is true.


Therefore, enter the loop.


Now i is 2 and N is 1, therefore i<=N is false.


Therefore, exit the loop.


Avoid the extra loop cycle by using i != N rather than i <= N.


BTW: c.enterdata() inside club::writeinto () won't compile. The address of the current object is kept in the this pointer. To use the current object inside a member function you code:


this->enterdata();
