Thread: char arrays, pointers, etc, could use help badly

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
using namespace std;

void displayDay(char *ptr);
void displayDayAddress(char *ptr);

int main(){
	char *days[] = {"Sunday",
					"Monday",
					"Tuesday",
					"Wednesday",
					"Thursday",
					"Friday",
					"Saturday"};     //array of char pointers
	int selectedDay;
	char *ptr;       //character pointer
	
	cout << "OUTPUT FOR PROBLEM #6a and #6b: " << endl;
	cout << "What day is it today? (1 - 7): ";
	cin >> selectedDay;
	ptr = days[selectedDay - 1];        //store address of the given array element in ptr
	displayDay(ptr);
	
	cout << "\n\nOUTPUT FOR PROBLEM #6c: " << endl;
	cout << "This day's address begins at: ";
	displayDayAddress(ptr);
	
    return 0;
} //end int main


void displayDay(char *ptr){
	cout << "Today's day is " << ptr;
	 
} //end void displayDay


void displayDayAddress(char *ptr){
	cout << &ptr;
}

For some reason I can't do what I want to do. What I want to do:

-Send into a function that large *char array of months, and an int
-In that function, the user will input a number into this int
-That day is called from the function. For instance, entering 2 will display Monday

-Then I need to make another function that outputs the address of the first character of the day inputted.


However, I can't get this to work right! I can't pass the values correctly so the majority of it is in main!! I could really use some assistance
