Passing Arrays to a constructor

[WarrenB]

I've got this piece of code and it doesn't appear to be passing properly

heres the constructor:

password:assword (char input[14])
{
pass[14] = input[14];
}

and the line calling it + input:

cin.getline(x,15);
password check(x);

when the contents of pass are viewed all that appears is garble. There is no comppile error or warnings. Any ideas? thanks in advance. Warren Brown

It must be like this:

...
password:assword (char input[]) // that is the way for this signature
{
pass[14] = input[14];
}

and the line calling it + input:

char x[15];
cin.getline(x,15);
password check(x);

Wait a minute, have you overloaded the assignment operator or something? if you are going to copy the input string you'd better use strcpy(char*,char*);
Is this what you are trying to do?

char *x=new char[15];
cin.getline(x,15);
password check(x);

password:assword(char* input){

strcpy(pass,input); //copy string input to string pass
}

 

[Thanks]

Thanks for your help guys, got it sorted .

In above case, what psnead has done is right, and i'ld rec to follow the same. And I also guess that pass is/should be array i.e. char pass[14], and not char* pass. Or it gives a null pointer assignment, at times.
