loop and class problem

[cap2361]

lost!!! I took a homework assignment that worked written in just main and for practice I wanted to make them classes with pointers and have one derived class of base. Although the while loop, for the most part worked before it was turned into a class, it now does not work. I tried using If statement but I am haveing problems constructing. Now I'm totally at a lose as what to do.

error C2664: 'strcmp' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char *[20]' to 'const char *
Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation

strcmp parameters are invalid like the compiler says! I would convert to using the std::string class found in <string> as it is much easier to use and has most of its operators overloaded so you can do things like:

using namespace std;

string str1 = "This is a ";
str1 += "message";
cout << str1 << "\n"; // prints "This is a message"

Look at the lines:

protected:
char *filename[12];
char *name[20];

I assume U just need two variables for holding two strings, not a tables of 12 (20) pointers to char. If so, try to remove * before filename and name and fix other errors by yourself (there are several of them :) )

[1o0oBhP]

If you must use char * (c-style) strings then define them as

char *string1;
char *string2;

string1 = (char*) new char[length + 1]; // allocate memory for a string of a given length. the + 1 is for the \0 character

delete [] string1; // deletes allocated memory

the strings should be ok to pass to c string functions

I M FACING BELOW PROBLEM WHEN PROGRAMMING IN CLASS IN C++. PLZ SORT OUT THIS
WARNING IS:
-- FUNCTION SHOULD BE EXPANDED INLINE
class one
{
public:
int a,b,c;
void show()
{
for(i=0;i<=5;i++)
{
cout<<"sam";
}
}
};

void main()
{
one obj;
obj.show();
}

program is executing but compiler is showing warning i.e.

FUNCTION CONTAINING FOR ARE NOT EXPANDED INLINE.
IF ANY ONE HAVE IDEA ABOUT SAME THEN PLZ SORT OUT MY PROBLEM
