C++ object problem

[yoshi273]

I was re-writing a program to be more object-oriented and organized, and i came upon an interesting program. I write another separate program to isolate what i was having a problem with, but that didnt help me fix it. Maybe you guys might have an idea... here is what im trying to do:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

class TEST
     {
     public:
     char A;
     int B;
     };

void Init(TEST &obj);

void Init(TEST &obj)
     {
     obj[1].A = 'a';
     obj[1].B = 1;
     }

int main()
     {
     TEST obj[5];
     Init(obj);
     cout << obj[1].A << endl;
     return 0;
     } 

I want to be able to declare an array of objects, like maybe 100 of them. I want to pass that entire array to an Init() function that will initialize SOME of those objects, then return them to main. Not sure why it wont work =( Thanks!

Silly yoshi. You left out a couple of major things. ---> [] These.

I reformatted your code to the way I code (sorry, easier for me to read) and it compiles now.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class TEST{

public:
	char A;
	int B;
};

void Init(TEST obj[]);

void main(){
	TEST obj[5];
	Init(obj);
	cout << obj[1].A << endl;
}

void Init(TEST obj[]){
	obj[1].A = 'a';
	obj[1].B = 1;
}

Changes that I made:
***Init(TEST obj[])***

To send an array into a function, you need to tell C++ that it's an array. You basically were confusing the compiler before that.

LOL...

Don't worry 'bout that. It's the silly little stuff that will kill you in no time flat.
