passing dynamic array to function

[rocketman03]

HI,

I'm trying to create a dynamic array in one function and then passing it to another function. However I am not able to get it to work ? can someone please tell me how to do this properly ?

Heres my code -

       void CreateCars()
      {
          Cars* cars = new SportsCar[50];
	  for(int i = 0; i < 50; ++i)
	 	cars[i].SetSpeed(rand()%100);
	  carHandler = new CarHandler(cars,50);
       }

CarHandler::CarHandler(Car* car_array,int numCars)
{
	this->car_array = car_array;
        this->numCars = numCars;
}

Can someone tell me how to do this properly ?
Thank you!

CarHandler constructor receives a pointer to a Car but you are passing a pointer to a Cars

sorry, that was a typo.

CarHandler::CarHandler(Cars* car_array,int numCars)
{
	this->car_array = car_array;
        this->numCars = numCars;
}

I have cars in both places, but it doesnt work.

Can you specify more exactly how it does not work? What you have posted should work fine, though I urge you to use std::vector instead.

Yes, It worked! The problem was further on in the code.

Thanks everyone!
