pointer to a string object
Hi everybody, I have an exercise that says: Write a program with a pointer to a string object. Use the pointer to the pointer to call the size() member function of the string object.
I did this but it doesn't work.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Assigning &str to pStr\n";
string str = "score";
string* pStr = &str; //pointer to string object
cout << "str is: " << str << "\n";
cout << "*pStr is: " << *pStr << "\n";
cout << "(*pStr).size() is: " << (*pStr).size() << "\n";
return 0;
}
I need help, thank you in advance

How does it not work?
Though if the assignment says to "use the pointer to the pointer", you probably need another variable

string** ppStr = &pStr;
What about now?.. the thing is in the chapter it never teaches about using **. There is another way?
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Assigning &str to pStr\n";
string str = "score";
string* pStr = &str; //pointer to string object
string** ppStr = &pStr;
cout << "str is: " << str << "\n";
cout << "*pStr is: " << *pStr << "\n";
cout << "(*pStr).size() is: " << (**ppStr).size() << "\n";
return 0;
}
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Assigning &str to pStr\n";
string str = "score";
string* pStr = &str; //pointer to string object
string** ppStr = &pStr;
cout << "str is: " << str << "\n";
cout << "*pStr is: " << *pStr << "\n";
cout << "(*pStr).size() is: " << (**ppStr).size() << "\n";
return 0;
}
If I had to guess, it meant to say "use the pointer to the string" rather than "use the pointer to the pointer".
it's what i understood! so what it's wrong, because, i submit the first exercise and I got 0 points.
I need hepl!
