Runtime Error - Dynamic Arrays

i m getting a runtime error and the program skips the first attribut i.e name,and gives a runtime error at the second one.compiler gives some warning about gets".\Assignment 3_Question 4.cpp(118) : warning C4996: 'gets': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using gets_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See online help for details.

my code is :

Code:

char *addcustomer(char **p,int n)
{
       

        cout << " ------- Add Customer Record --------" << endl << endl;

       

       
       
 for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
 {
        cout << "Please Enter Customer Name: " ;
       
        cin.getline(p[i],20,'\n');
       
        cout << endl;
       
        cout << "Please Enter Customer NIC Number: " << endl;

        gets(p[i+1]);
       
        //cout << p[i+1]<< endl;

thanks in advance!

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do ... but in addcustomer,
look at the for loop, when "i = n-1"

1) you do a getline() using p[i] ... ok

2) you do a gets() in p[i+1] , p[i+2] , ... , p[i+7] ... these are
past the bounds of the array.

3) Why are you mixing getline() and gets() ?

i just used both of them to run my code,but none of them works,both give error,i just wanted to show that i have tried both of them!

Let's say that you're on the iteration of the loop when i == n-1. At that point, where are you trying to store the telephone number?

i am a bit confused in your for loop..... what will happen when the loops runs after entering 1st record.... i think it will overlap your previous data(record).....
though m not sure whether i am correct or not....
