Homework help. Address book.

trusttheshark (3)
1.) Create a project called addressBook
2.) Add a header file and cpp file for your project
3.) All of your definitions should go in the header file.
4.) In the header file create the definition for your structure. Call it PERSON.
5.) Your structure should have fields for first name, last name, address, and optionally a phone number.
6.) Inside the cpp file you will create the functionality for your address book
7.) Inside the cpp file declare a global array of 10 PERSONS to hold all of the records in your address book call it people. Use a const called MAXPEOPLE to set the size of the array. Put the const in the header file.
8.) You are probably going to want to declare an integer variable to keep track of where you are at in the array.
9.) Create functions addPerson, getPerson
10.) These functions should take as arguments a reference to a PERSON structure.
11.) The addPerson method should copy the structure passed to it to the end of the array
12.) the getPerson should start at array element 0 and with each successive call return the next person in the array.
13.) Create overloaded findPerson functions. One function should take only the persons last name
14.) The other function should take both the persons last and first names.
15.) All code for the functions should be in the cpp file
16.) From main write functionality that will test your address book code
Ok, so you should have three files
main.cpp - holds you main function
addressBook.cpp - holds the address book functions that are required for the assignment
addressBook.h - which holds the definitions for addressBook.cpp

Main.cpp

This is all me and a friend have so far. We have both been working on it, and aren't very good at programming. We are completely stumped now.

Hi,
I did a project like this over thanksgiving break. Yours is more complicated it seems but what is your question can you be more specific then "we are completely stumped?"
trusttheshark (3)
Hello,
Do you say mine is more complicated by the directions given or by the code we've attempted to write. It isn't working even though I believe it should. I will post the error I get, and where every underline is.
Main.cpp
25. cout & endl
35. cin
59. findPerson
69. findPerson
103. ==
109. cout & endl
122. the first == and findfirst
124. }
128. cout & endl
136. cout & endl
addressBook.h
22. All cString
23. self
addressBook.cpp has a ton of underlining too, but I am pretty sure that one was done right.

Just by the directions. And your code. As far as your errors go I''m a beginner myself. I'm not very sure about your errors I thought you were having something more around my thinking. It is a similar project though:)
Sorry I can't be of more help. Did you at least Google your warnings and errors?
