Need Some Guidence :)

I writing my first program. I am encountering some things I need help with. I am just really setting up the class that will make everything work. I have a few questions though. Should I use pointers to pass info in and out of the class to keep from movin big arrays? Should I be using strings to do this work(dont know how to use it though)? If I do, where is there some info on string that could help me. Thanks //BOC #include <iostream.h> class Address{ Public: Address (); ~Address (); // putting in info int putName(char tmpname[]); int putEmail(char tmpemail[]); int putAddress(char tmpaddress[]); int putphone(char tmpphone[]); int putcomment(char tmpcomment[]); // getting info char getName(); char getEmail(); char getAddress(); char getPhone(); char getComment(); Private: char name[25]; char email[30]; char address[120]; char phone[20]; char comment[100]; } Address::Address(){ } Address:utName(char tmpname[]){ name[] = tmpname[]; } Address:utEmail(char tmpemail[]){ name[] = tmpEmail[]; } Address:utAddress(char tmpaddress[]){ name[] = tmpAddress[]; } Address:utPhone(char tmpphone[]){ name[] = tmpphone[]; } Address:utComment(char tmpcomment[]){ name[] = tmpComment[]; } Address::getName(){ return pname[]; } Address::getEmail(){ return pemail[]; } Address::getAddress(){ return paddress[]; } Address::getPhone(){ return pphone[]; } Address::getComment(){ return pcomment[]; } void main(){ Address currententry = new Address; //EOC

One thing - you need to fix your function return types. Your functions are returning char - they need to return String.

Siebharinn I don''t see any difference in putting
char tmpname[] in

Address:

utname(char tmpname[])

as a parameter or putting

Address:

utname(char *tmpname)

these both r same then y u emphisizing on using the later one. Actually char tmpname[] is same as char* const tmpname.

Should there be two separate classes? One fore creating the contact and another viewing it?

Here is the beginning of my CreateContact class. I still have do alot to it such as it saving the contacts info to a file. How would I implement this? Thanks

  class CreateContact{	public:      void SetName(const char* tmpname) {      	name = tmpname;      }      void SetEmail(const char* tmpemail) {      	email = tmpemail;      }      void SetPhone(const char* tmpphone) {      	phone = tmpphone;      }      void SetPhoneb(const char* tmpphoneb) {      	phoneb = tmpphoneb;      }      void SetAddress(const char* tmpaddress) {      	address = tmpaddress;      }      void SetComment(const char* tmpcomment) {      	comment = tmpcomment;      }   private:   	string name;      string email;      string phone;      string phoneb;      string address;      string comment;};

added string copy like Promit said to:

  class CreateContact{	public:      void SetName(const char* tmpname) {      	strcpy(name ,tmpname);      }      void SetEmail(const char* tmpemail) {      	strcpy(email ,tmpemail);      }      void SetPhone(const char* tmpphone) {      	strcpy(phone ,tmpphone);      }      void SetPhoneb(const char* tmpphoneb) {      	strcpy(phoneb ,phoneb);      }      void SetAddress(const char* tmpaddress) {      	strcpy(address ,tmpaddress);      }      void SetComment(const char* tmpcomment) {      	strcpy(comment ,tmpcomment);      }   private:   	string name;      string email;      string phone;      string phoneb;      string address;      string comment;};

How would I get the class to save contact information to a file to later be brought up to be viewed. This file needs to be set up so it can hold other contacts as well. Thanks
