Thread: char array of words

You've got the order of the arguments to strcpy wrong. Also, num shouldn't be a 2-D array of pointers in this case:

Code:

char num[5][10];
  
strcpy(num[0],"one");
strcpy(num[1],"two");
strcpy(num[2],"three");

Since this is the C++ board, maybe you should try an array or vector of strings:

Code:

vector<string> strVect;

strVect.push_back("one");
strVect.push_back("two");
strVect.push_back("three");

although vector is much convenient that array, arrays offer much more functionality and push you to your limits.

aren't chars contained in single quotation marks ??
'char' ??
, note: I did not compile this code, it's just for demonstration

Code:

char* charArray[5];
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
charArray[i] = new char;

*charArray[0] = 'H';
*charArray[1] = 'E';
*charArray[2] = 'L';
*charArray[3] = 'L';
*charArray[4] = 'O';

//Deleting 
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
delete[] charArray[i];
charArray[i] = 0;

corrected

How on earth do arrays offer more functionality than vectors?

delete[] is for new[]

you have new char - it sould be deleted with regular delete
