string arrays in a for loop?
Forgive me if my terminology is off. I'm using visual studio 2008 c++. I'm doing a movie rental project where I have to create a list of movies (listing name, price, and quantity), and then be able to display/modify them. I've done for loops with arrays of integers, but not strings. I'm only posting a portion as it is quite lengthy. This is what I have done so far, but to no avail :/
I've tried tried some things in the for loops, but I've just gotten some unexplainable errors which even my classmates could not solve.
but I just cannot do this yet.
for the function displayMovieList, I tried:
for (char element=model.item;element<size;element++)
but it didn't work
All suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Um. You have a LOT of really weird stuff in there...
First:
You are lucky this even works!
Second:
std::string's are not char arrays, and they are not implicitly convertable. If you want to pass an std::string to a function, pass a string, and take a string, don't try to take a char[].
You also have a BUNCH of errors with stuff like line 38/49, char[stuff] doesn't make sense at all...
I would suggest re-reading your text on the more basic programming stuff (functions, variables), and then see if you can find more of the errors you have.
First:
cin>>(cin,item.movie); I'm not sure what you are trying to do here. >_>You are lucky this even works!

char is a keyword. You can't name a variable 'char'. The blue syntax highlighting is sort of a clue to that:
That will error, as will pretty much everywhere else you're using the word 'char'.
Change char to something else and that should clear up most/all of your errors.
void displaymovieList(dvdMovie char[],int size) That will error, as will pretty much everywhere else you're using the word 'char'.

Please post your algorithm hir step by step from step 1 upto last step, i dont need code, i will code it for you to make your homework done.
