Help creating class objects

[MikeyBoy]

Syntactically, the name of an array is interchangeable with a pointer to the type of object stored in the array. The value of the pointer is the memory address of the first object in the array. So:

int myArray[10] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};

int i = *myArray;  // Sets i to 0, because myArray can be used as an int* 

And:

void myFunction(int* intPtr, int numberOfInts)
{
  for (int j = 0; j < numberOfInts; ++j)
  {
    intPtr[i] = i;  // Can use intPtr as if it was the name of an array
  }
}

Of course, you're usually better off using STL containers rather than arrays.
