Passing an array of Structures to A Function

Hi,

The following is basically C but I'm just wondering how I might create a function declaration so that I could pass the structure array to that function and use that function to fill the structure array.

I've looked at a few examples but none seem to work. Should I be declaring student in a different way (if so what would the function declaration be)?

Code is here:

int main()
{
	

	struct Student{
		string name;
		int id;
		string courseCode;
	};

	
	Student *student;
	student = new Student[3];

Why not just learning the language before asking such questions? Or do you want learn by asking? It won't be effective...

Your statement makes no sense - if everyone learned the language (learning the language as you put it) - there would be no need for this site. No-one is required to reply to any question and I do not believe I have broken any site rules.

Hi,
You have to pass the size of the array also as a parameter.

C++

struct Student{
	string name;
	int id;
	string courseCode;
};

void ProcessStudent(Student * stu[], int Cnt)
{
	//access the array based on the count Cnt
}
int main()
{


	Student *student[3];
	student[0] = new Student();	
	student[1] = new Student();	
	student[2] = new Student();	

	ProcessStudent(student,3);
}

Best Regards

void ProcessStudent(Student stu[], int Cnt) as opposed to void ProcessStudent(Student * stu[], int Cnt)but other than that, works fine. Thanks!
