Hi all,

i made some java few time ago and i'm now studying C++
here is a simple program i've been working on to learn about it but the fact is for some days now i can't figure why it doesn't work...

in fact i just want to create an array of strings, noms[10]

my problem is that the first name will be stored all right in " noms[0] " , but then if i add a second name, it will be stored both in " noms[0] " and " noms[1] " ... and again same problem with a third name in noms[0] noms[1] and noms[2] ...

perhaps it's a real simple one but i don't really understand why data will go on " noms[0] " if i'm considering the address of " noms[1] "


thank you
vincent
