Help! how can i fix this error??

Alright the question is in the following...


Using (Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 6.0) software, follow the sample output to write and run a program that uses a function called search which will use pointers to search for the address of a given integer t in an array a of size n. If the given integer is found, the function returns its address; otherwise it returns NULL.
The prototype of the function is as follow:
int*search(inta[], intn, int t);

Sample Output (1):
Enter the size of the array: 4
Enter the values in the array: 33 55 77 99
Enter the value to search for: 99
The value 99was found and its address is 0012FDC4

Sample Output (2):
Enter the size of the array: 5
Enter the values in the array: 22 44 66 88 11
Enter the value to search for: 50
The value 50 was not found.


-------------------------------------------------



#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int* search(int a[], int n, int t);

int main()
{
int *aPtr;
int n,t;
int a[100];
int index;

cout<<"Enter the size of the array: ";
cin>>n;

cout<<"Enter the values in the array: ";

for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
cin>>a[i];

cout<<"Enter the value to search for: ";
cin>>t;

index=search(a,n,t);

if(index!=-1)
cout<<"The value "<<t<<" was found and its address is "<<*&aPtr<<endl;

else

cout<<"The value "<<t<<" was not found."<<endl;

return 0;
}

int* search(int *a, int n, int t)

{





for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
if(*(a+i)==t)
return i;

return \0;


}

Remove the stray '\' character.

@48 return \0;

Function "search" is supposed to return the address of the element of an array if it is equal to the search value. So modify the lines from 24-48 with the following code change:

aPtr=search(a,n,t);

if(aPtr!=NULL)
cout<<"The value "<<t<<" was found and its address is "<<aPtr<<endl;

else

cout<<"The value "<<t<<" was not found."<<endl;

return 0;
}

int* search(int *a, int n, int t)

{





for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
if(*(a+i)==t)
return &a[i];

return NULL;

Thank you so much!!

Grooooaaan.

A 16 year old, pre-standard compiler?

If you're using this as part of a course... that's unfortunate. Look around for a more modern course. You will be learning a bunch of stuff that either has changed or is just flat-out wrong and won't work on modern compilers.


If this is not part of a course.... update your compiler.

I know right?!!! our college made us use this old c++ version ughh... they don't accept the newest version.
