Passing Array To Function & Display Array Contents

[mcertini]

I am a newbie to C++ and am trying to pass an array to a function and then display the contents of this array through the function. The array is populated through a different function though both functions reside within the same class. I am struggling to figure out how to execute the function object to execute the display function. Listed below are all of the code components:
//=============================================
Monop.h

//Purchase Property Class
class PurchaseProperty
{
public:
void PropInit(void);
char Display();
char DisplayProp(char [],int);
private:
};

//=============================================
MonopFunct.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "Monop.h"

using namespace std;
using std::cout;

void PurchaseProperty::PropInit()
{
char *PropNameArray[] = {"Mediterranean Avenue","Baltic Avenue","Oriental Avenue","Vermont Avenue","Connecticut Avenue","St. Charles Place","States Avenue",
"Virginia Avenue","St. James Place","Tennessee Avenue","New York Avenue","Kentucky Avenue","Indiana Avenue","Illinois Avenue",
"Atlantic Avenue","Ventnor Avenue","Marvin Gardens","Pacific Avenue","North Carolina Avenue","Pennsylvania Avenue","Park Place",
"Boardwalk"}; 

float PropCostArray[] = {60,60,100,100,120,140,140,160,180,180,200,220,220,240,260,260,280,300,300,320,350,400};

float PropRentArray[] = {2,4,6,6,8,10,10,12,14,14,16,18,18,20,22,22,22,26,26,28,35,50};

float PropRent1Array[] = {10,20,30,30,40,50,50,60,70,70,80,90,90,100,110,110,120,130,130,150,175,200};

float PropRent2Array[] = {30,60,90,90,100,150,150,180,200,200,220,250,250,300,330,330,360,390,390,450,500,600};

float PropRent3Array[] = {90,180,270,270,300,450,450,500,550,550,600,700,700,750,800,800,850,900,900,1000,1100,1400};

float PropRent4Array[] = {160,320,400,400,450,625,625,700,750,750,800,875,875,925,975,975,1025,1100,1100,1200,1300,1700};

float PropHotelRentArray[] = {250,450,550,550,600,750,750,900,950,950,1000,1050,1050,1100,1150,1150,1200,1275,1275,1400,1500,2000 };

float PropHouseCostArray[] = {50,50,50,50,50,100,100,100,100,100,100,150,150,150,150,150,150,200,200,200,200,200};

float PropHotelCostArray[] = {50,50,50,50,50,100,100,100,100,100,100,150,150,150,150,150,150,200,200,200,200,200};
};

char PurchaseProperty::Display()
{
int cnt;
for(cnt = 0; cnt < 22; cnt++)
{
cout << "Program is Working";
}
return 0;
}

char PurchaseProperty::DisplayProp(char PropNameArray[], int)
{
int cnt;
for(cnt = 0; cnt < 22; cnt++)
{
cout << PropNameArray[cnt];
}
return 0;
}

//=============================================
Main.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "Monop.h"

using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;

char DisplayProp(char PropNameArray[],int);

int main()
{

PurchaseProperty object;
object.PropInit();
object.DisplayProp(PropNameArray,22);

return 0;
}

 void PurchaseProperty::PropInit()
{
char *PropNameArray[] = {"Mediterranean Avenue","Baltic Avenue",
"Oriental Avenue","Vermont Avenue","Connecticut Avenue",
"St. Charles Place","States Avenue",
"Virginia Avenue","St. James Place","Tennessee Avenue",
"New York Avenue","Kentucky Avenue","Indiana Avenue",
"Illinois Avenue","Atlantic Avenue","Ventnor Avenue",
"Marvin Gardens","Pacific Avenue","North Carolina Avenue",
"Pennsylvania Avenue","Park Place","Boardwalk"};

In the above code your variable PropNameArray is local to this function. When the function ends the variables are destroyed. This is true for all the variables you have declared inside this function. You will need to put the variables into the class declaration as either private, or public data.

example:

class mclass
{
   public:
      int this_is_a_public_variable;
      void public_function(double v) { this_is_a_private_variable = v;}
   private:
      double this_is_a_private_variable;
};

Indent your code.

Elysia,

Thank you for your response. I will remember to indent my code next time.

Jimblumberg,

Thank you for your response. This is my first program and I now I recognize the function scope issue. I recall from my study this issue.
