When the program displays Student details, the fields are blank. In theory I think it is correctly written. Any idea on this? Thanks.

inputStudent is modifying a local copy of it's parameter. You need to receive a reference (this is C++ by the way).

Code:

---

void inputStudent(Student &s)

Indeed. Thread moved to C++ Programming forum.

Okay.
Thanks :D
