can someone explain this to me?

[kandigirl2009]

I'm a beginner in C++ and my teacher is not explaining the material correctly. I was wondering if I could get help

[Laharl]

What problem are you having? What material is he not explaining well? We're gonna need more information than that to help you...

i'm in deltamami's class and this is what the teacher told us about those problems: well, about number one

first of all... this should not be a main( ) function...

second... the function should have an array passed to it (by passing a pointer to the first element), and an integer value that you will search for in the array, and one other variable that you will need for the loop control

third... the function should return a pointer to the value in the array

How will you find the value in the array? Loop through the array and compare each value to the value you are looking for. When you find the value, return the address of the value in the array (the location of the first element of the array plus the number of ints from the beginning of the array).

I dont understand what this means

is this right?

void loadArray(const int*, const int);
int main()
{
//Declare variables
    int myArray[5]; //IN: holds the array of integers
    loadArray(myArray, 5); //IN: invokes loadArray
 
 
 
 
      system("pause");
      return 0;
 
}
 
void loadArray(const int *myArray, const int size)
{
    //Increments the address 
    for(int i = 0; i< size; i++)
     cout<<(myArray+i)<<endl; //My array is incremented and therefore prints out 
                            //the information in the array
 
}

Why not put it into a compiler and see what happens? I don't think you'll get quite what you want.

Alo, that function looks like it's trying to print the array - but the function name is loadArray - shouldn't you be inputting?
