Hello all!

I am trying to have a file that reads in planet locations (completely fictional) and calculates the distance between them all with a roadTrip function. However, I am having trouble when it comes to three or more planets, and I suspect it is how I am using the variables. Galaxy[i][j] is just the distance between planet A and B laid out on an array (chart).

Thanks!


Here is the roadTrip function

int Graph::roadTrip(int input, int start)
{
  int distance = 0; //distance between planets (light years)
  
  
  distance = Galaxy[start][input];
  
  
  return distance;
}

Here is the main function

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  int input = 0;
  int totalDistance = 0;
  int start = 0; //planet you choose to start from
  
  Graph test(argv[1]);
  
  test.printLocations();
  
  
  cout << endl;
  
  cout << "Enter the planets you want to travel to. -1 to end." << endl;
  cout << "What planet do you want to begin at?" << endl;
  cin >> start;
  
  while(input != -1)
  {
    cout << "Next planet?" << endl;
    cin >> input;
    
    totalDistance = test.roadTrip(input, start) + totalDistance;
    
    
  }
  
  
  cout << "Distance is " << totalDistance << " light years.";
  
  
  
  
}

You never update your start variable after you go from planet A to planet B.
