this is suppose to be a parallel array and each array contains five elements but i can't see where i went wrong with the for loop. i compiled the code and after the first loop, the code breaks and i immediately exit out of the loop.

        cin >> names[i];
        cout << "Enter the win for team #" << i+1 << ": ";
        cin >> wins[i];
    }

}

void sortData(string names[], int wins[], int size) {

}

void displayData(string names[], int wins[], int size) {

}

To declare an array of 5 blank strings you should write
1
2
 
const int size = 5;
string teamNames[size];

That's why I always recommend using some programs like checkamrx to detect errors. Of course, the best way is to program slowly and detect each bug before it happens.
