My arrays are showing errors

[bboy premier]

My teacher gave us a program in visual basic and I've decided to convert it into C++ as practice. I've converted as best i can, not changing the way that she did it (whilst holding myself back) because she would get angry.
Anyways for some reason, the arrays i have passed in to the different functions are not working and i don't understand the error message I am presented with.

This is the code i converted:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

typedef unsigned short int ushort;

void enter_data(string list_data[12], ushort list_ptr[12], ushort& start, ushort& no_of_recs);
void print_list(string list_data[12], ushort list_ptr[12], ushort start, ushort no_of_recs);

int main()
{
	ushort pointer[12], start_rec, records;
	string data[12];
	records = 0;

	enter_data(data, pointer, start_rec, records);
	print_list(data, pointer, start_rec, records);
	enter_data(data, pointer, start_rec, records);
	print_list(data, pointer, start_rec, records);

	return 0;
}

void print_list(string list_data[12], ushort list_ptr, ushort start, ushort no_of_recs)
{
	//print out linked list so far
	cout<<start<<endl;

	for(int i = 1; i == no_of_recs; ++i)
	{
		cout<<i<<" "<<list_data(i)<<" "<<list_ptr(i)<<endl;
	}
}

void enter_data(string list_data, ushort list_ptr, ushort& start, ushort& no_of_recs)
{
	ushort ptr, ptr2, prev_ptr;
	bool flag;
	string new_data;

	if(no_of_recs == 0)
	{
		start = 1;
		ptr =0;
	}
	else
	{
		ptr = no_of_recs;
	}

	do
	{
		flag = false;
		ptr += 1;

		cout<<"Enter Data";

		cin>>new_data;
		no_of_recs += 1;

		if(new_data != "XXX")
		{
			list_data(ptr) = new_data;
			list_ptr(ptr) = 0;

			if(ptr != 1)
			{
				//if ptr = 1 then there is no more data to check
				if((list_data(ptr)) < (list_data(start)))
				{
					//the new ddata needs to be added at the start of the linked list
					list_ptr(ptr) = start;
					start = ptr;
				}
				else
				{
					ptr2 = start;
					do
					{
						if((list_data(ptr)) < (list_data(ptr2)))
						{
							list_ptr(prev_ptr) = ptr;
							list_ptr(ptr) = ptr2;
							flag = true;
							//insert data into middle of list
						}
						else
						{
							if(list_ptr(ptr2) == 0)
							{
								list_ptr(ptr2) = ptr;
								flag = true;
								//add record at the end
							}
							else
							{
								prev_ptr = ptr2;
								ptr2 = list_ptr(ptr2);
							}
						}
					}while(flag != true);
				}
			}
		}
	}while(new_data != "XXX");
	no_of_recs -= 1;
}

Here is my teachers VB original:

        If noofrecs = 0 Then
            start = 1
            ptr = 0
        Else
            ptr = noofrecs
        End If

        Do

            flag = False
            ptr = ptr + 1
            Console.WriteLine("enter data")

            newdata = Console.ReadLine()
            noofrecs = noofrecs + 1
            If newdata <> "XXX" Then

                listdata(ptr) = newdata
                listptr(ptr) = 0
                If ptr <> 1 Then

    End Sub
    Sub printlist(ByVal listdata, ByVal listptr, ByVal start, ByVal noofrecs)

        'print out linked list so far

you dont get an element with "list_data(i)", you have to use "list_data[i]"

At array starts at zero and ends at size-1 (i.e. array[0] to array[size-1])
