The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Placing user generated  char* statement into array of char*s

Asked by pacman32689 in C++ Programming Language

Tags: c++

I believe I am finally making some headway on this cheesy appointment book I am writing. :) However, I have run into some trouble. I have it set so the user can enter up to 10 purposes via giving each appointment day an array of 10 char*s. However, when I go to copy the user input into the the array at a certain position g++ is throwing me the error:

main.cpp:31: error: no matching function for call to 'DailyAppointmentScheduler::setPurpose(const char [12], int)'
DailyAppointmentScheduler.h:29: note: candidates are: void DailyAppointmentScheduler::setPurpose(char**, int)

My understanding is that I am screwing up by trying to find the size of a 2d array item by trying to find the size of it as a 1d array. The two arguments for setPurpose are the actual purpose and then the spot in the array to place it. (I am planning to go back and simply this stuff a lot more, ie combining all the time setting into a single function, but first I have to get the fundamentals right.)

Is there another one of your wonderful examples to set me straight? :) They always help a lot! Thank you.

I also realize my overloaded operators are commented out. My plan was that the << operator would do something alone the lines of cout << Sunday;

And I would get

My daily appointment scheduler for Sunday
10:00 am Go to dentist.
6:30 pm Go to bed.

By making << friends with Date and Time I assume that would be possible. Thanks again!
