Thread: How do I make a function that accepts an array of objects as it's argument

I have made an array of objects. I've started by defining a class and making an array containing pointers to that class type. Then I initialized each pointer to NULL.

What I would like to do from here is pass the array to a function that will tell me how many classes are stored in the array. How would I go about doing this? Is it possible to pass an array to a function? Thanks.

Here is my code:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;

class customer{
      public:
            customer( string );
      private:
              string name;
};

customer::customer( string x ){
                    name = x;
}



int main(){
    customer * array[50]; //create array of pointers to customer objects
    customer fry ( "fry" );
    customer bender ( "bender" );
    
    for( int c = 0; c < 50; c++ ){ //initialize to NULL
         array[c] = NULL;
    }
    
    array[23] = &fry;
    
    return 0;
}
