Question

Lets say in main() I create an object pointer called BOB from a class called TheBuilder and I do this like this

TheBuilder *BOB = new TheBuilder();

Now lets say I have a function that I want to pass this to called helloWorld inside of main. How do I pass this BOB pointer to TheBuilder object? How do I call it and what does the parameter list for helloWorld() look like?

I want to be able to modify data inside of the object that BOB is pointing to inside of the member function helloWorld.

I know it probably has some ‘*’ or ‘&’ but I don’t know where to put them.

Thanks

Answer 1

class TheBuilder
{
    <class def>
}

void helloWorld (TheBuilder* obj)
{
    <do stuff to obj, which points at BOB>;
}

int main ()
{
    TheBuilder *BOB = new TheBuilder();
    helloWorld (BOB);
    return 0;
}
