Create a
LookupNames
project using C++.
In the main function:
Ask the user to enter a number of names, X to quit input.
Store the names in an array.
Also use a counter variable to count the number of names entered.
Write a function
displayNames
to display the names.
The function must receive the array and the counter as parameters.
Write a function called
lookupNames.
The function must receive the array and the counter as parameters.
Ask the user to enter a letter.
Display all the names with the letter that was entered as the first letter of the name.
Call the displayNames and lookupNames functions from the main function.
Tip: declare your functions above the main() function:
void displayNames(char array[][60], int count)
{
// function code here
}
int main()
{
// main code here
displayNames(names, number);
// possible more code here
}
Tip2: make sure your function parameter matches the data type you send as an argument to that function.
In the above example,
names
and
array
should have the same data type, and
number
and
count
should have the same data type.
Output Example:
Enter name (X to quit input):
John Peterson
Enter name (X to quit input):
Diane Lee
Enter name (X to quit input):
James Smith
Enter name (X to quit input):
Frank Xaba
Enter name (X to quit input):
Jacky Mokabe
Enter name (X to quit input):
