void main()
{
char string[20];
char *aString=string;

cin >> name;

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
i think like this your program should be



void function(char *name)
{
cout << "enter name";
cin >> name;
cout << name;
}


void main()
{
char string[20];
char *aString=string;
function(aString);
}

Actually

void main()

is wrong to an will invoke undefined behaviour, it should be

int main()

and you should return a value from main
