    Structure & Functions Problem

    Hi.

    I'm doing an assignment which uses structure to store a series of product name and each name has its own quantity. The program then use a function to let the user to enter the product he/she wants and add the quantity. The main problem is that I don't know how to pass my structure into my Add_Quantity function. Would you tell me how to do it?

    Thank You

    Jacob

    you pass anything to a function the same way as any integral type. If your function should store into the struct or is otherways quite large, you should declare it to take a reference.
    by reference
    Code:
    returntype function(&yourstruct localname){
    }
    by value
    Code:
    returntype function(yourstruct localname){
    }
    in both cases you call function(thestruct);
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    I think this is supposed to be:
    Code:
    returntype function(yourstruct& localname){
    }
