Converting parameters in an array

[Joker]

Hello everyone I just joined here.

I have a question regarding a project I've been working on.

I have the following code:

cout << "\nISBN:";
cin.getline(isbn, MAX_ISBN);
cout << "\nTitle:";
cin.getline(bookTitle, MAX_TITLE);
cout << "\nAuthor:";
cin.getline(author, MAX_AUTHOR);
cout << "\nPublisher:";
cin.getline(publisher, MAX_PUBLISHER);
cout << "\nDate Added:";
cin.getline(dateAdded, MAX_DATE);
cout << "\nQuantity-On-Hand:";
cin.getline(qtyOnHand, MAX_ROW);
cout << "\nWholesale Cost:";
cin.getline(wholesale, MAX_ROW);
cout << "\nRetail Price:";
cin.getline(retail, MAX_ROW);

I have all of the array and array sizes in my header:

//Define array sizes
#define MAX_ROW 20
#define MAX_TITLE 51
#define MAX_ISBN 14
#define MAX_AUTHOR 31
#define MAX_PUBLISHER 31
#define MAX_DATE 11

//Define arrays for bookInfo
char bookTitle[MAX_ROW][MAX_TITLE];
char isbn[MAX_ROW][MAX_ISBN];
char author[MAX_ROW][MAX_AUTHOR];
char publisher[MAX_ROW][MAX_PUBLISHER];
char dateAdded[MAX_ROW][MAX_DATE];
int qtyOnHand[MAX_ROW];
double wholesale[MAX_ROW];
double retail[MAX_ROW];

I also have the #include ".cpp" in my header.

I am getting this error message on all of my cin.getlines:
cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char [20][11]' to 'char *'

Why am I getting this error and how do I fix it? Any help would be appreciated.

basically, you are tying to assign data meant for a one dimensional array two a two dimensional array. If you are only keeping one record, i seems all you need is char bootTile[MAX_TITLE], but if you are keeping MAX_ROW of each, the best way is probably to make an array of structure called BookInfo or something with all your information as members.

cin.getline(qtyOnHand...
cin.getline(wholesale...
cin.getline(retail...

Doesn't the first parameter for getline have to be char* or char[] ?

What's the best way to read numeric with getline?
Just use:

cin >> qtyOnHand[i]; // ?? or...
?
