Thread: Two Struct & Class Programs that behave the same

I was just trying to play with structs and classes to see the difference..

I wrote two programs that behave the same... the struct one doesn't work when I am trying to call the function..
how do i fix it ?

here're the two programs...

PROGRAM WITH CLASS:

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdio.h>


class person
{
	public:
	char name[20];
	int age;
	void getdata();
};

void person :: getdata()
{
	cout << "Enter name: ";
	cin >> name;

	cout << "Enter age: ";
	cin >> age;
}

main()
{
	int i;

	person record[2];

	for (i=0; i<=1; i++)
	{
		record[i].getdata();
	}

	for (i=0; i<=1; i++)
	{
		cout << record[i].name << endl << record[i].age << endl << endl;
	}

	getchar();
}

PROGRAM WITH STRUCT (this one doesn't work)

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdio.h>

struct person
{
	char name[20];
	int age;
	void getdata();
};

void getdata()
{
	char name[20];
	int age;
	cout << "Enter name: ";
	cin >> name;
	cout << "Enter age: ";
	cin >> age;
}



main()
{
	int i;

	person record[2];

	for (i=0; i<=1; i++)
	{
		record[i].getdata() ;
	}

	for (i=0; i<=1; i++)
	{
		cout << record[i].name << endl << record[i].age << endl << endl ;
	}

	getchar();
	getchar();
}

Can anyone tell me how I fix it ?

got it...

I used the double colons before decaring the function.. :-)
