Question

I get an error message "Error2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'double*' to 'char*' "
my programis:
#include<iostream> using namespacestd;
//FunctionPrototypes void getString(char*, int);
intmain() { const int SIZE =81;    char*sentence; // To dynamically allocate an array       
// Get String getString(sentence,SIZE);
system("pause");    return0; }
void getString (char*sentence, int SIZE) { int num,count;    // Getthe number of days of sales.    cout<< "How many sentences do you wish ";    cout<< "to enter? ";    cin>> num;
   //Dynamically allocate an array large enough to hold allsentence    sentence= new double[num];
   // Getthe sales figures for each day. cout << "Enter thesentence! ";    for(count = 0; count < SIZE; count++)    {    cout<< "Sentence " << (count + 1) << ":";    cin.getline(sentence,SIZE); cin.ignore();

Explanation / Answer

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

//Function Prototypes
void getString(char *, int);
int main()
{
const int SIZE = 81;
    char *sentence; // To dynamically allocate anarray
        
   // Get String
getString(sentence,SIZE);
system("pause");
    return 0;
}

void getString (char*sentence, int SIZE)
{
int num, count;
// Get the number of days of sales.
    cout << "How many sentences do you wish";
    cout << "to enter? ";
    cin >> num;

    //Dynamically allocate an array large enough to hold all sentence
    sentence = newchar[num];

    // Getthe sales figures for each day.
cout << "Enter the sentence! ";
    for (count = 0; count < SIZE; count++)
    {
    cout << "Sentence " << (count + 1)<< ": ";
    cin.getline(sentence,SIZE);
cin.ignore();

    }
    // Free dynamically allocated memory
    delete [] sentence;
    sentence = 0; // Make sales point tonull.
