returning/storing string in Arrays

[thav]

I initialized an array,

ArrayName [ ] name = arrayName [100];

with 100 elements.
In the program its taking string data and putting them into the array.
by using Console.Writeli ne, it asks the user the question.

next I want to take the input and store it in the array.

All I can think of is using the Console.Readlin e.
but I don't know how to enter it back into an array.

Anyone have any examples of Arrays or links to where I can get more help! Thanks.

ive always used cin/cout for that kind of stuff:

cout << "Enter your name: ";
  cin.getline (name,256);

will ask the user for their name and take in a line of text from the console.

make sure you include

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

or your cin/couts will have to look like this:

#include <iostream>
std::cout << "Enter your name: ";
  std::cin.getline (name,256);

or well, cout/cin will send/get text from the console.

you need to figure out how to declare your array to store the information you retrieve that way. what is the type and name of your array again?

its a string and the Arrayname is Contact.

In this program I created 3 class,

1 is Contact to keep the contact information.
such as first and last name, phone number.

2 is the ContactManager class to handle the details of the information.
<this is the area I am needing help on>



3 is the Program class with the main method, that will display 3 options.
of adding and listing class.

so ContactManager is what stores the information into Contact objects?

why dont you add member functions to the Contact class to do this? and if you want to store a string, use a string to store it in.
