c++ - I don't get the right data. I just got random number -

my assignment arrays , structures. first part need read data input file. however, i'm stuck on that. know got random numbers. however, can't find it. took me 1 hour find mistakes. can guys please show me got wrong? i'll appreciate it. thank you!!!

#include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <string>  using namespace std;  const int size=15;  // here structure declaration. struct bestcolleges {     int rnk;        // rank of college.     string name;    //the college name.     int years;      // years did college establish?     string email;   // address of college.     double tranferrate; // % of students graduate , transfer     double retentionrate;   // % of students first year retention.     int low_cost;       // lower cost of attendance     int high_cost;      // higher cose of attendance     double numstudents; // how many students in college. };  void getdata (bestcolleges c[], bestcolleges *plast); void printcollege1 (bestcolleges college[],bestcolleges *plast);  int main() {     ifstream inputfile;     int num_college;      cout << " welcome program!!! " << endl;      bestcolleges *college;     college = new bestcolleges[size];     bestcolleges *ptr;     bestcolleges *plast = college+ size-1;     ptr= college;  // here function definition     getdata( college, plast);     printcollege1( college, plast);     // i'm testing if got data input file //cout << num_college << endl;        cout << " thank reading program! see again!" << endl;      return 0; } // here fuction definition void getdata (bestcolleges c[], bestcolleges *plast) {     ifstream inputfile;     int num_college;      inputfile.open("ca_bestcolleges.txt");     inputfile >> num_college;      ( bestcolleges *p =c; p < plast; p++)         {             inputfile >> p->rnk;             getline(inputfile,p->name);             inputfile >> p->years;             getline(inputfile,p->email);             inputfile >> p->tranferrate;             inputfile >> p->low_cost;             inputfile >> p->high_cost;             inputfile >> p->numstudents;          }         inputfile.close(); } void printcollege1 (bestcolleges c[],bestcolleges *plast) {      ( bestcolleges *ptr = c; ptr < plast; ptr++) // here printing entirely information.             {                 cout << " rank: " << ptr->rnk <<  endl;                 cout << " name: " << ptr->name << endl;                 cout << " email: " << ptr->email << endl;                 cout << " graduation , transfer rate: " << ptr->tranferrate << endl;                 cout << " first year retention rate: " << ptr->retentionrate << endl;                 cout << " cost of attendance: " << "$" << ptr->low_cost << " - " << "$" << ptr->high_cost << endl;                 cout << " number of students: " << " approx.

here input file:

15 palo verde college 1947 http://www.paloverde.edu 31.2 82.7 14266 18266 3898 4 diablo valley college 1949 http://www.dvc.edu 50.2 90.5 14839 20579 24781 6 foothill college 1957 http://www.foothill.edu 68.8 87.5 12300 19302 18362 12 college of siskiyous 1957 http://www.siskiyous.edu 59.8 82.0 15306 21936 2473 10 cuesta college 1963 http://www.cuesta.edu 50.7 86.2 12052 19135 9571 8 ohlone college 1965 http://www.ohlone.edu 52.1 91.1 10898 15878 18000 

you bad results because you're not parsing correctly:

for ( bestcolleges *p =c; p < plast; p++)     {         inputfile >> p->rnk;         getline(inputfile,p->name);         inputfile >> p->years;         getline(inputfile,p->email);         inputfile >> p->tranferrate;         inputfile >> p->low_cost;         inputfile >> p->high_cost;         inputfile >> p->numstudents;      } 

you're missing inputfile >> p->retentionrate;. because of next items read unexpected data , cause bad results.
