const char pointer function help
I'm having some issues with changing a char pointer and can't figure out where I'm going wrong
Here's my function for changing the description...

void appointment::changeDescription(const char * s) // change an existing description
{
if (desc != NULL)
strcpy(desc, s);
if (s == NULL)
return;
}
|
And here's the function that calls the change description function.

bool keyBoardEnterAppointment( schedule & sched) // return true if successful
// return false if full
{
if (sched.isFull() == true)
{
cout << "Schedule is FULL." << endl;
return false;
}
else
{
appointment s;
int day, month, year;
char *desc = new char;
long source;
cout << "*/Enter Appointment\\* ";
cout << "Description: "; cin >> desc;
cout << "Source: "; cin >> source;
cout << "Month: "; cin >> month;
cout << "Day: "; cin >> day;
cout << "Year: "; cin >> year;
s.changeDescription(desc);
s.setSource(source);
s.setDay(day);
s.setMonth(month);
s.setYear(year);
sched.addtoSchedule(s);
sched.print(cout);
return true;
}
}

It compiles and runs but the description remains the same as the default constructor description...
What do you set desc to in the default constructor?
