Help Me Solving This Question

hello
our doctor give as in assignment , i already try to solve it but i got some errors...

==========

Write a function named compareArrays that takes 4 parameters, two arrays of any type

(arrA[] and arrB[]) , and two integers sizeA and sizeB, being the number of elements in the two arrays respectively. The function should return boolean value which is true if the arrays are of the same size and all the corresponding elements in both arrays arrA and arrB are equal. Otherwise, it will return false. (i.e. return false if sizeA is different from sizeB or if any element of arrA is different from the corresponding element of arrB). Test the functions by writing a C++ program.

==========

PHP Code:

---

#include <iostream>
template <class Type>
bool compareArrays(Type *arrA, Type  *arrB);

using namespace std;

template <class Type>
bool compareArrays(Type arrA,Type arrB, int sizeA, int sizeB){



bool flag=true;

// arrayA
    cout<<"Enter the number of element in arrayA:";
    cin>>sizeA;
    arrA= new Type[sizeA];

    cout<<"Enter the elements of arrayA:";
    for ( int i=0; i<sizeA; i++)
    cin>>arrA[i];


// arrayB
    
    cout<<"Enter the number of element in arrayB:";
    cin>>sizeB;
    arrB= new Type[sizeB];

    cout<<"Enter the elements of arrayB:";
    for ( int j=0; j<sizeB; j++)
    cin>>arrB[j];
// compareArrays checks equivalent

    while(flag){
    if (sizeA!=sizeB)
    {    flag= false;
    break;
    }

    else{
    
    for (int q=0; q<sizeA; q++)
        if(arrA[q]!=arrB[q]){
    flag=false;
    break;}
    

        return flag;
    }

    
    }



}

int main(){
int sA, sB;

compareArrays<int>(a ,b, sA,  sB);



return 0;
}

the errors

Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup MSVCRTD.lib Assigment7

looks like you have your project setup wrongly in msvc ie, it looks like win32 rather than empty/console app.

Your code is wrong on many many levels. As already mentioned, you have project configuration problems, but also algorithm problems, and finally, just downright logic problems.

Forget input from user, and do things 1 at a time. Start by writing your compare function only.

Here is a "fill in the gap" file:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

template <typename T>
bool compareArrays(T arrA, int sizeA, T arrB, int sizeB)
{
    //please fill me
}

int main()
{
    //fancy output
    std::cout.setf(std::ios_base::boolalpha);

    //first test //false
    {
        int A[] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
        int ASize = 4;
        int B[] = {4, 3, 2};
        int BSize = 3;
        bool result = compareArrays(A, ASize, B, BSize);
        std::cout << "Test1 result: " << result << std::endl;
    }

    //second test //false
    {
        int A[] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
        int ASize = 4;
        int B[] = {1, 2, 3, 5};
        int BSize = 4;
        bool result = compareArrays(A, ASize, B, BSize);
        std::cout << "Test2 result: " << result << std::endl;
    }

    //third test //true
    {
        int A[] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
        int ASize = 4;
        int B[] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
        int BSize = 4;
        bool result = compareArrays(A, ASize, B, BSize);
        std::cout << "Test3 result: " << result << std::endl;
    }

    //fourth test //false
    {
        int A[] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
        int ASize = 4;
        int B[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
        int BSize = 5;
        bool result = compareArrays(A, ASize, B, BSize);
        std::cout << "Test4 result: " << result << std::endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

The correct answer should be "false, false, true, false". Get that to work, it is the first step.

Actually, it looks like it is setup for a console app. The issue is that if this is the entire code, there is no 'main' function.
