Thread: Passing pointers.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here. I can't figure out what tough.

This is the function that gives trouble:

Code:

void ten_and_up(int random, char *pjackEtc)
{
	if (random == 11)
	{
		pjackEtc = "Jack";
		puts("Jack");
	}
	else if (random == 12)
	{
		pjackEtc = "Queen";
		puts("Queen");
	}
	else if (random == 13)
	{
		pjackEtc = "King";
		puts("King");
	}
	else if (random == 14)
	{
		pjackEtc = "Ace";
		puts("Ace");
	}
	else
	{
		puts("***Error in void ten_and_up***");
	}
	return;
}

This is the prototype:

Code:

void ten_and_up (int random, char *pjackEtc);

And this the function call:

Code:

ten_and_up(random, pjackEtc);

The function executes the else statement.

Thank You.

And what is the value of random? Why do you think it is 11, 12, 13, or 14? Obvious thing I would do: in the error statement you're getting, print the value of random as well and see what it is. Especially given the name of the function -- ten_and_up -- I would assume that random might be ten.
