Correct syntax for array of structs?

[badkaykay]

I can't seem to find a straight answer on this.

In my book it says to declare and array of struct like so:

struct Results {
      string words;
      int t;
};

int main() {
struct Results recResults[1000];


}
return 0;

Another question on this same topic.

when you are calling an array of struct in a function - is this correct?

//declare struct

struct Results {
      string words;
      int t;
};

//declare functions
void popArray(ifstream&, string, int);

int main() {
struct Results recResults[1000];

//call function
string popArray(ifstream&, string, Results recResults[]);




}
return 0;
//function definition
string popArray(ifstream& inf, string sentence, Results recResults) {

function code


}

Thanks in advance.

Results recResults[1000];

Can you be more specific? Where does the above specifically go? What part of the code are you referring to?

Looks like the author of your book is actually a C programmer. In C++, you don't need to use the word struct every time you use one.

struct Results {
      string words;
      int t;
};

int main() 
{
  Results recResults[1000];  // NO use of word struct
}
return 0;

Your popArray function declaration has the third parameter as an int, and then you do this
string popArray(ifstream&, string, Results recResults[]);
which is NOT calling the function. It's declaring another, different function.
Then your actual definition is different AGAIN, like this:
string popArray(ifstream& inf, string sentence, Results recResults)
What do you want the third parameter to be?

[badkaykay]

Apologies -

it should read:

//function declaration
string popArray(ifstream&, string, Results recResults[]);

//function call
 popArray(inf, sentence, recResults);

//function definition
string popArray(ifstream& inf, string sentence, Results recResults) {

function code

}

Please tell me if all of these have correct syntax?

Thanks.

[Moschops]

The declaration and the definition disagree over what type the third parameter is.

[DesiredNote]

string popArray(ifstream& inf, string sentence, Results recResults) {

function code

}

I thought you were passing in an array of Results? This function only takes one Results struct as an argument, not an array of them.

That is the problem I'm affraid - I am new to structs/array of structs and as you can tell a bit confused. I am trying to use an array of structs and have never done this before - thus my question about syntax.

I am trying to pass struct members to an array of structs. In fact, in this particular function I am trying to populate the array with the struct member information.

At any rate, I keep wondering if I am using the syntax correctly because it would help if I know that I am at least calling these things correctly.

Does that help describe what I am trying to do?

[Moschops]

Have you used arrays? Using an array of int is identical to using an array of some struct.

@xhtmlx DUH DUH DUH. I get it now. Thank you for pointing out the painfully obvious - I fixed my code. Thanks again.
