I am trying to create a program where it will read in the student name, nationality, and grades, and calculate their tuition fee based on those information.
I began to write a bit of code by I have ran into some problems. When I try to run my code, the compiler says "warning C4700: local variable 'name' used without having been initialized" but continues to run the code. Then the program shuts down. What is happening?
In addition, on my fifth line I have "char *firstName;". I know that char* represents a pointer, but what does that mean and why can't I just use a string?
Code:#include <iostream> using namespace std; struct Student { char *firstName; char *lastName; bool canadianship; int grades[10]; }; Student newStudent[10]; void addFirstName() { char *name; cout << "Student Name: "; cin >> name; newStudent[0].firstName = name; } int main() { addFirstName(); cout << newStudent[0].firstName; return 0; }
