In C++, I'm getting a message “error: 'void*' is not a pointer-to-object type”

Question

Here\'s my code:

#include 
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   void *x;
   int arr[10];
   x = arr;
   *x = 23; //This is where I get the error         


        

Answer 1

you cant derefrence void*, and that is what the coder is doing.

*x = 23; // this cant be done with void*

instead :

x = &arr[index] ; // this is correct
