i got error and how to fix it???(C1903 C2040 C2676)

[MRAziz2000]

Hello everyone,

i have my code ,but i got some error when after i linked to string2.cpp

those error

Error	3	error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation	  

Error	1	error C2040: 'String' : 'char [255]' differs in levels of indirection from 'String'	 12	1	 

Error	2	error C2676: binary '[' : 'String' does not define this operator or a conversion to a type acceptable to the predefined operator	

my codes......

#include <iomanip>
#include "string2.cpp"

// functions that pass arrays of strings.

/************************    ReadWord    *********************************

DESCRIPTION  Reads a word from standard input and stores in the array
Word.

For the purposes of this routine, a "word" is any
contiguous sequence of non-blank characters.

PARAMETERS   Word            An array of char.
MaxWordLength:  The maximum number of chars to store in
NewWord (not including the null terminator).
Chars beyond this number are discarded.

CALLS        cin.get and cin.good, both in the iostream library.
isspace from ctype file.

NOTE         Words longer than MaxWordLength are truncated.

i tried many time to solve this problem, it didnt work and i dont know how to solve it.

the program most of the time it tells me here is error and i dont know how to solve it.

typedef char String[MAX_WORD_LENGTH + 1]; // + 1 for null terminator.

while ( NewWord[0] != 0) // While NewWord is not null string

that is it....

up up.

please i need help.

To get help avoid dumping a lot of code in your post, it makes people a lot less likely to help you because it can take so much time to look through your code.

Right off the bat, I see you including a .cpp file. Don't do this, it's not a habit you want to get into. Here's good reading for it. Why are you including it anyway? It looks like your string functionality is in your main source file anyways.

Next thing, is there a reason you can't just use std::string? You're obviously not using a C compiler, so I'm curious as to why you're restricting yourself to static sized c-style arrays.

As things are right now, when you do something like a parameter String words[] you're actually having a multidimensional array as an argument. These are also something you don't want to get into the habit of using. Follow this link and see one of this community's members reasoning for why.

Please narrow your issue down a bit more, and we'll go from there.
