Help with clases

Sup

I don't know why classes in c++ are messing me up so much when I understand them in visual basic. I dunno, maybe its just the syntax but I have got to get this down so I can move on to windows programming lol.

I have 2 or 3 books that deal some with classes in c++ but all of them do not answer my 2 questions.

If you could please answer them, I would be thankful =)

1. What is the proper way to passs strings to a class and also to return them?

2. What would be the proper way to pass an array of strings and also to return them.

I would guess on number 2 that you may have to send each variable in the array one by one but would like to confirm =)

Thank You for any help

#2.
you can have your funciton accept the array as a reference variable...

ex. void myArrayFunc(int &myArray[100]);

so now myArray will be whatever it is last assigned to :) that should be easier than calling 1 function numerous times :)

1: The easiest way (especially for a VB programmer) is to use the string object:

Code:

---

#include <string>
using std::string;

string func()
{
    return string("Hello");
}

int main()
{
  string x = func();
  cout << x.c_str() << endl;
  return 0;
}

---

2: You can create an array of string objects and pass them as Steve said, or you can use a vector:

Code:

---

#include <string>
#include <vector>
using std::string;
using std::vector;

void func(vector<string>& strings)
{
  for(int i = 0; i < strings.size(); ++i)
    cout << strings[i].c_str() << endl;
}

int main()
{
  vector<string> x;
  x.push_back(string("Hello"));
  x.push_back(string("Goodbye"));
  func(x);
  return 0;
}
