Hey all! I have this assignment for my school project to create a simple address book using classes that do the routine stuff like adding a contact, searching it, modifying it, deleting it...
Here is the code but it won't run properly. I tried but couldn't figure it out. It'd be a huge help for me if you guys could have a look at it and tell me what and where the problem is...
Thank you! :)

Thank you! :)

Do you think it is easy for anyone to try and help you when you write stuff like 'it won't run properly' or 'i tried but couldn't figure it out' ?? If you tried you should write specifically what you tried so that we know. And what does it mean by 'it won't run properly' ? Which part works? Which part doesn't work? Am i supposed to go through your entire code and understand that? Don't you think giving these details are important? You're lucky AD has given you an answer, normally such posts will get no replies at all and rightly so.

void main() must be int main().

Why are you using C's fgets() instead of c++ getline() ? Does't make sense to use those C functions in a C++ program.

Example: delete stdio.h, string.h and conio.h from your program as they are not needed.

void contact :: enter()
{ cout<<"Enter First Name : ";
  cin.getline(fname, sizeof(fname));
  cout<<'\n'<<"Enter Last Name : ";
  cin.getline(lname, sizeof(lname));
  cout<<'\n'<<"Enter Address (residence) : ";
  cin.getline(r_add, sizeof(r_add));
  cout<<'\n'<<"Enter Address (office) : ";
  cin.getline(o_add, sizeof(o_add));
  cout<<'\n'<<"Enter Phone No. (residence) : ";
  cin>>phone;
  cout<<'\n'<<"Enter Mobile No. : ";
  cin>>mobile;
  cout<<'\n'<<"Enter Phone No. (office) : ";
  cin>>office_ph;
  cout<<'\n'<<"Enter Fax No. : ";
  cin>>fax;
  cout<<'\n'<<"Enter E-Mail ID : ";
  cin.getline(mail_ID, sizeof(mail_ID));
  cin.get();
}

Uh, sorry...
The modification and the searching functions won't work. They take in the name but that's it...no displaying of the data.
Further, the display all function is displaying only the last record.
Further, the main function isn't returning any value so why should it be int and not void?
