help with undeclared identifiers

I can't seem to fix this problem, seeing if you guys see anything that I am blindly missing.
I get errors such as:

1>c:\projects\lab2\lab2\word.cpp(64) : error C2065: 'five' : undeclared identifier
1>c:\projects\lab2\lab2\word.cpp(75) : error C2065: 'five' : undeclared identifier
1>c:\projects\lab2\lab2\word.cpp(76) : error C2065: 'twod' : undeclared identifier

and every variable in my string arrays all have the same 'undeclared identifier' error. I am using the 'using namespace std;' so i dont see the problem.

here is a short snippet of my code:


#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <stdio>

using namespace std;

int lengths(string* [], string [][]);

int main(){

string* five[5] = {boat, light, gray, mind, soul};
string twod[3][2] = {{cat, dog, hamster},
{bird, monkey, fish}};

int lengths( *five[5], twod[3][2] );
int iei( *five[5], twod[3][2] );

return 0;
}

//Display the length of each string.

int length(string *five[],string twod[][]){

for(int x=0; x<5; x++){
cout << "*five[" << x << "] ";
cout << "has a length of " << five[x].length();
}
}

There's a lot wrong with that code. I'm not entirely sure where to begin.

I guess for starters, I'm not sure why you're making "five" an array of string pointers. Why not just an array of strings? And the initializers should have double-quotes around them.

Well it was on the assignment sheet that "five" had to be a pointer. And thanks, I feel dumb that I didn't realize that one.

There's a difference between a pointer and an array of pointers. Make sure you're absolutely clear on what's being asked of you.
