Borland C++ String question

I need to create a function called MyStringFunct which accept 2 built-in strings(character arrays terminated by '\0') as parameters and returns an integer.

int MyStringFunct( char * parm1, char * parm2 )

The program should process according to the following:

Parm1 Parm2 Processing Return value
"Initialize" "Any Text" Store Parm2 in a static -1
variable local to
MyStringFunct

"Vowels" NULL No. of vowels
in the static
variable.

"Consonants" NULL No. of conso-
nents in the
static variable.

Note: Be sure the function should work no matter what order the above calls are made.

More: How to change the parm1 to be a pointer to a function. Implement the same actions using different functions for "Init", "Vowel" etc..

Could you please write me some code so I can work on this exercise in my book?

Thanks

It looks fine but is it true that it has to have a main() in a program?

Urgent!

int main()
{
char buf[MAX_TEXT_LEN];

for(;;) {
cout << "Enter string to analyze\n";
cin >> buf;
cout << '\n';
MyStringFunct("Initialize", buf);
cout << "The number of vowels is " <<
MyStringFunct("Vowels", NULL) <<
", and the number of consonants is " <<
MyStringFunct("Consonants", NULL) << ".\n";
}

return 0;
}
