Thread: Scope problem.

Hi,

I'm trying to use pointers as the parameters of a function. The pointers are supposed to point to the items held within a text file which was previously created by the use of an array of structs.

This is what I've done so far:-

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

struct items
{
	double price;
	bool luxury;
};

void FunctionsName(double *pointer2price, bool *pointer2luxury);

int main()
{
	items StructArrayName[10];
	
	ifstream StreamName;
	StreamName.open("myfile2.txt");

	if(!StreamName)
	{
		cout << "phail " << endl;
	}

	for(int i = 0;i < 10; i++)
	{
		StreamName >> StructArrayName[i].price >> StructArrayName[i].luxury;
	}


	double *pointer2price;
	StructArrayName->price = *pointer2price;//uninitialized local variable 'pointer2price' used

	bool *pointer2luxury;
	StructArrayName->luxury = *pointer2luxury;//uninitialized local variable 'pointer2luxury' used


	StreamName.close();

	system ("pause");
	return 0;
}
void FunctionsName(double *pointer2price, bool *pointer2luxury)
{
	for(int a = 0;a<10;a++)
	{
		if(*pointer2price>9.99)
		{
			*pointer2price = 9.95;
		}
		if(*pointer2luxury = 1)
		{
			*pointer2luxury = 0;
		}
	}
}

My question is just in regards to the bold text errors. I'm unsure on how to combine having the pointers point to the struct's items, while still having them accessible by a function call (which I haven't yet placed into main).

.....I'm hoping that makes sense. Many thanks.
