Passing a string array to a function using pointers

asofaihp · 04-13-2009, 11:18 AM

I'm having trouble passing a string array to another function. I can pass an integer array like this

Code:

 int main(){
int numbers[3] = {1,2,3};
void print_array (int*array);
print_array (numbers);
}

void print_array (int*array){
	cout << (*array) << (*array+1);
}

however, I can't seem to change it so that I am able to pass a string array.

Post your code that demonstrates the problem you are having.

and why are you using array and not vector in the first place?
