How can I pass my array into other functions? I need to pass char info*[100] into all three functions. I keep getting errors when I try. Something like "cannot convert something to something". Here is my code:

#include<iostream>
#include<cstdio>
#include<cstdlib>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
using namespace std;
int inserting(){
}
int sorting(){
}
int startover(){
}
int main(){
char *info[100];
int choose;
int (*ptr[])()={inserting,sorting,startover}… an array of pointers to functions
do{
do{
cout<<"\nPlease select a menu option:\n";
cout<<"\n0)Insert SSN, First Name, Last Name";
cout<<"\n1)Sort and Display Names";
cout<<"\n2)Start Over";
cout<<("\n3)Quit\n");
cin>>choose;
if (choose<0||choose>3)
{
cout<<"\nInvalid selection try again!\n";//Error message for invalid input
}

}while(choose<0||choose>3);//Validatio… loop 
if (choose==0)//If statement calling functions using array of pointers
(ptr[0])();

else
if (choose==1)
(ptr[1])();
else
if (choose==2)
(ptr[2])();
else;

}while(choose!=3);

system("pause");
}//main func

Please edit your post and put your code between

Your code here

blocks.

It would also be helpful if you provided your functions
int (*ptr[])()={inserting,sorting,startover}… an array of pointers to functions

At the moment I dont have anything in my functions but I need *info[100] in all 3 functions, when I do the following I get error messages.

#include<iostream>
#include<cstdio>
#include<cstdlib>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
using namespace std;
int inserting(char *info[100]){
}
int sorting(char *info[100]){
}
int startover(char *info[100]){
}
int main(){
char *info[100];
int choose;
int (*ptr[])(char)={inserting,sorting,startover}… an array of pointers to functions
do{
do{
cout<<"\nPlease select a menu option:\n";
cout<<"\n0)Insert SSN, First Name, Last Name";
cout<<"\n1)Sort and Display Names";
cout<<"\n2)Start Over";
cout<<("\n3)Quit\n");
cin>>choose;
if (choose<0||choose>3)
{
cout<<"\nInvalid selection try again!\n";//Error message for invalid input
}

}while(choose<0||choose>3);//Validatio… loop 
if (choose==0)//If statement calling functions using array of pointers
(ptr[0])(info);

else
if (choose==1)
(ptr[1])(info);
else
if (choose==2)
(ptr[2])(info);
else;

}while(choose!=3);

system("pause");
}//main func

Are you looking for something like this?

int inserting(char **info)
{
	cout << "calling inserting\n";
}

int sorting(char **info)
{
	cout << "calling sorting\n";
}

int startover(char **info)
{
	cout << "calling startover\n";
}

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	char *info[100];
	int choose;
	int (*insertFunc)(char **) = inserting;
	int (*sortFunc)(char **) = sorting;
	int (*startOverFunc)(char**) = startover(;)

		do{
			do{
				cout<<"\nPlease select a menu option:\n";
				cout<<"\n0)Insert SSN, First Name, Last Name";
				cout<<"\n1)Sort and Display Names";
				cout<<"\n2)Start Over";
				cout<<("\n3)Quit\n");
				cin>>choose;
				if (choose<0||choose>3)
				{
					cout<<"\nInvalid selection try again!\n";//Error message for invalid input
				}

			}while(choose<0||choose>3);//Validatio… loop
			if (choose==0)//If statement calling functions using array of pointers
				insertFunc(info);

			else
				if (choose==1)
					sortFunc(info);
				else
					if (choose==2)
						startOverFunc(info);
					else;

		}while(choose!=3);

	system("pause");


}

}

That works but I have to use an array of pointers to functions...

Here is one way to define an array of these

int inserting(char **info)
{
	cout << "calling inserting\n";
	return 0;
}

int sorting(char **info)
{
	cout << "calling sorting\n";
	return 0;
}

int startover(char **info)
{
	cout << "calling startover\n";

	return 0;
}

typedef int (*FUNC)(char **);
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	char *info[100] = {"Hello" };

	
	FUNC funcAry[3] = {inserting, sorting, startover};
	funcAry[0](info);
	funcAry[1](info);
	funcAry[2](info);

	system("pause");


}

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!!!!
