Problems with passing arrays to a function

[Shahzad Alam]

I am passing any array of COleDateTime to a fuction to perform some operatios. But the array is not passed except for the first entry and even gives an exception when the function return value.
My code is:

// Before I call the function, initialize the time values
COleDateTime[5] time;
time[1].SetTime(6,0,0);
time[2].SetTime(10,0,0);
time[3].SetTime(14.0,0);
time[4].SetTime(20,0,0);

// calling function now to pass the time object
int value;
value = MyFunction(time);
*************************************
// Implementation of MyFuction
int MyFunction(COleDateTime *time)
{
CString str[5]; // just to convert time to CString and display
str[1]=time[1].Format("%H:%M:%S");
str[2]=time[2].Format("%H:%M:%S");
str[3]=time[3].Format("%H:%M:%S");
str[4]=time[4].Format("%H:%M:%S");

AfxMessageBox(str[1]);
AfxMessageBox(str[2]);
AfxMessageBox(str[3]);
AfxMessageBox(str[4]);

return 0; // just a test here!
}

This function does not display the 4 times but just the first one. Please help! How can I pass the array to the function correctly. This function generates an exception when it returns the value. Please help!

Hi!
declare the array of time of type COleDateTime as

COleDateTime time[5];//COleDateTime[5] time; is wrong n U have done it this way?

everything should be fine then !

Good Luck.
Yash.

Try this in your definition :

int MyFunction(COleDateTime time[], int nCount)



You have to pass a counter because you can't determine the size of your array.
Why don't you use element 0 ? An array in C++ is zero-based.

You can also do the following :

int MyFunction(COleDateTime *time, int nCounter)
{
...
}




call the function as follows :
MyFunction(&time[0], 5);


you pass the address of the first element.
