trying to point to an array

  #1  
Nov 2nd, 2006
I have been trying to store the values of card face value into an array called faceValue but I don't know how to do this. I've created the array and placed in public in my h.file (char faceValue[5] but trying to link it to *face in the function deal is where I'mhaving trouble. Could someone look at what I've done and tell me what I'm doing wrong.
  1. void DeckOfCards::deal()
  2. {
  3. // initialize suit array
  4. static const char *suit[ 4 ] =
  5. { "Hearts", "Diamonds", "Clubs", "Spades" };
  6.  
  7. // initialize face array
  8. static const char *face[ 13 ] =
  9. { "Ace", "Deuce", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven",
  10. "Eight", "Nine", "Ten", "Jack", "Queen", "King" };
  11.  
  12. // for showing fist five cards dealt
  13. for ( int card = 1; card <= 5; card++ )
  14. {
  15. // loop through rows of deck
  16. for ( int row = 0; row <= 3; row++ )
  17. {
  18. // loop through columns of deck for current row
  19. for ( int column = 0; column <= 12; column++ )
  20. {
  21. // if slot contains current card, display card
  22. if ( deck[ row ][ column ] == card )
  23. {
  24. cout << setw( 5 ) << right << face[ column ]
  25. << " of " << setw( 8 ) << left << suit[ row ]
  26. << ( card % 2 == 0 ? '\n' : '\t' );
  27. } // end if
  28. } // end innermost for
  29. } // end inner for
  30. } // end outer for
  31. } // end function deal
  32.  
  33. int main()
  34. {
  35. DeckOfCards deckOfCards; // create DeckOfCards object
  36.  
  37. deckOfCards.shuffle(); // shuffle the cards in the deck
  38. deckOfCards.deal(); // deal the cards in the deck
  39. deckOfCards.faceValue = *face;// palces value of *face into array faceValue
  40. deckOfCards.pair(); // displays text if hand holds a pair
  41. return 0; // indicates successful termination
  42. } // end main
