pointers and structures

[klutez123]

Right now I'm creating a program that declares a structure, which also has enum inside it. Now I believe I declare the structure right, but the next step is to create a loop that has the user enter 5 different items of data for library information. But I have to use pointers, so when the loop runs and I enter the information, the data has to be sent to a structure variable only once all six attributes are entered, and the pointer values should be used to create the structure. I was given an example: cin >> a; cin >> b; library.dewey = &aptr; This is my code so far: struct card_catalogue { float dewey; string title; string author; int released; int num_pages; enum type {fiction = 1, non-fiction, reference, pond}; }; int main() { return 0; }

Why would you post this question in the C++/CLI forum? I would think being able to 'read' would be a prerequisite for whatever course this assignment is from. :wtf:
