C++ errors

[daniel1977]

I've attached below my codes. I'm stumped. The funny thing is, I think I can make this work with a vector instead of the arrayListType class. I cannot figure out how to load the objects into the array.

I create an arrayListType object of type extPersonType, call it addressBookType, and make its size 500. So I should have an array that is capable of holding 500 extPersonType objects.

I want to load each element of the array with an extPersonType object using the default constructor. I could then iterate through the array a second time to set the first name, last name, street, state, zip, etc. of each of the elements in the array. Or, it would be even nicer if I could use the overloaded constructor and create the objects along with their attributes in the same 'for' loop.

(FYI, the "prog.dat" file is just a text file that contains the data to load the object attributes.)

Thanks in advance,

Dani

You're trying to pass the function an int (i) and a pointer-to-extPersonType. It doesn't want a pointer. It wants the actual object. Don't give it a pointer-to-extPersonType. Give it an actual extPersonType (or change the function so it takes a pointer).
