Hi:
How can I write a program using pointers and classes. My program suppose to translate dollar amounts in the range 0 through 9999 into an English description of the number. For example, the number 710 could be translated into the string seven hundred thirteen, and 8203 would be translated into eight thousand two hundred three, etc.

Any ideaa?

Why would you need to use a pointer for this programming task?
I think a recursive function will do fine here.
It's only a small range you have to translate, so a recursive function will be the easiest in my opinion
Also: use arrays to store the numbers (in their expanded form, like: "one", "two", "three", ... , "ten", "twenty", "forty", etc. ...)

I need to use pointers for this program because my instructor wants to.

Just try to do the program,
when its done, it should be clear what should be pointers.
