Copy Constructor

[terminator]

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

class cpchk{
private:
char* name;
int num;
public:
// Methods for name
char* getname()const{
cout<<"Address:Name>>"<<&name<<endl;

****wait a minute****.try this:
cout<<"name string
adress>>"<<( (void*)name )<<endl;

remmember that 'name' is a pointer to 'char's who stores the address
of a 'char' ,but meanwhile it is a variable and every variable has an
address which is indepent from its value and is retrived via the unary
'&' operator.

and why do you prefer malloc/free over new/delete?

name=(char*)malloc((strlen(acname)+1)*sizeof(char));

try this:

name= new char[strlen(acname)+1];//much simpler

free(name);

instead do this:

delete name;//invokes destructor prior to remove from heap

Thanks Guys shall remember the tips that i got in here

and why do you prefer malloc/free over new/delete?

Because then he won't mix up new and new[].

name=(char*)malloc((strlen(acname)+1)*sizeof(char));

try this:

name= new char[strlen(acname)+1];//much simpler

free(name);

instead do this:

delete name;//invokes destructor prior to remove from heap

Must be:
delete[] name;

I strongly suggest std::string and std::vector<>.

damn me.you did knock me down.

the discussion is all about pointers.Your suggestion is safer, but if
one wants to learn ,he must take the risk .
