Response to: Help Pointers and chars in C++;

Revision 1
Here you are only assigning the adress of x into name. And at the adress of x is the 'm' of "missak".

yup::yup(char *x)
{
	name = x;
}

Here the content of the adress "name" is printed. And the content is a single char. It's the letter 'm'.

void yup::print()
{
    cout<<*name;
    cout<<endl;
}

You have to copy the whole string into your private member.
In C you could do this like this e.g.

char szName[BUFF_SIZE];

void yup(const char *x)
{
   if( strlen(x) < BUFF_SIZE )
   {
      strncpy(szName, x, BUFF_SIZE);
   }

}

In C++ there is also a class for strings. I don't have a good reference right here at the moment. But a little google or dearch on CodeProject will help you..
