Question

I'm creating a program and need help fixing it. I'm trying to pass an array that uses a special struct to a function.

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

using namespace std;

const int SIZE = 3;

struct bookMaterial{ double pricing; string nameOFbook; }; double getbooks(bookMaterial books, bookMaterial SIZE);

int main(){ bookMaterial books.pricing [3] = { 22.30, 22.34, 54.23 };

getbooks(books, 3);//books is their to pass a name while the number 3 is how big the array is.

system("Pause");

return 0; }

void getbooks(bookMaterial books[], bookMaterial SIZE)

{ //In here I just display book names and the prices from above.

cout << "Stuff" << endl; }

Explanation / Answer

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
const int SIZE = 3;
struct bookMaterial{
   double pricing;
   string nameOFbook;
};
void getbooks(bookMaterial books[], int SIZE);

//getbooks should be given an array but you gave just strucure. SIZE should be of int.
int main(){

//The way you initialized books was wrong. This is the correct way to do it.
   bookMaterial books[3];
   bookMaterial b;
   b.pricing=22.30;
   books[0]=b;
   b.pricing=22.34;
   books[1]=b;
   b.pricing=54.23;
   books[2]=b;

   getbooks(books, 3);//books is their to pass a name while the number 3 is how big the array is.
  
return 0;
}

void getbooks(bookMaterial books[], int SIZE)
{ //In here I just display book names and the prices from above.
cout << "Stuff" << endl;
}
