Use of string arrays in functions?

JoeyS (6)
Hi, I have the following code which works, but can someone please help me with how I may instead put the tasks of populating the array and printing the array in two separate functions, and how I may call those functions? I can do it if it was an array of integers or something like that but it doesn't work for me with an array of strings. Thanks.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main () {


//Populate array:
char *months[] = {"January","February","March","April"};


//Print array:
for (int i=1;i<3;i++) {
     cout << months[i] << endl;
}

return 0;
}

void print_months();

int main()

    print_months();

    return 0;
}

void print_months()
{
    for (int i=0;i<4;i++)
        cout << months[i] << endl;
