I've managed to create an object that holds an array (floats) but I wish to return that value back through a function. here is the code for the object holding the array. #include "Object.h" #include <iostream> #include <string> #include "Aplist.h" using namespace std; Object::Object(){ } Object::Object(float prray[3]){ setDetails(array); } void Object::setDetails(float array[3]){ for (int i=0; i<4; i++) testarray[i]=array[i]; } void Object::Print(){ for (int i=0; i<4; i++) cout<<testarray[i]<<endl; } float Object::getarray(){ return testarray[3]; } and here is the code that calls the getarray function void Creator::FindObject(){ float hold[3]; hold[3]=aObject->getarray(); for (int j=0; j<3; j++) cout<<hold[j]; } My problem is that when I copy all 4 items of the array back to where the function was called (to store in the hold[3] array), I would assume I need a loop of some sort to return each item back but i'm not sure how Thanks

I think that an OO friendly solution would be to change getarray() to: float Object::getarray(int i){ return testarray[i]; } Then you can use a for loop to process the array contents: for (int j=0; j<3; j++) cout<< aObject->getarray(j); } The next step would be to have a method that returns the size of the array: for (int j=0; j<aObject->getarraysize(); ++j) { cout << aObject->getarray(j); }
