C++ - class issue

Question

At: http://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/82-classes-and-class-members/

There is the following program (I made some small modifications):

#include 

        

Answer 1

The error is because strncpy is declared in the cstring header file.

A pointer is used because you are working with C strings, which are char arrays. Arrays in C are used through pointers. And strncpy takes two pointers to char(char arrays) to do the copy process.
