Hello Professor I am having an issue with my pointers that I made. First off these are actually classes that I am pointing to. These classes have the methods below. I want my program to be able to enter say five people objects, then list them. Of course the pointers are giving me trouble. Is this the proper way to implement this type of functionality?



void CreatePerson()
{
Person * people = new Person[ArraySize];
for(int i = 0; i < ArraySize; i++)
{
people[i].setFirstName();
people[i].setLastName();
people[i].setAge();
people[i].setHomePhone();
people[i].setCellPhone();
people[i].setWorkPhone();
people[i].setAddress();
}
delete people;
}


//Here I am trying to pass in the existing people object and display its values

void print(Person * people) //This method displays entered values to the screen
{
for(int i = 0; i < ArraySize; i++)
{
cout << people[i].firstName << endl;
cout << people[i].lastName << endl;
cout << people[i].age << endl;
cout << people[i].homePhone << endl;
cout << people[i].cellPhone << endl;
cout << people[i].workPhone << endl;
cout << people[i].address << endl;
cout << people[i].city << endl;
cout << people[i].state << endl;
cout << people[i].zip << endl;
}
//TODO: Display Entered values to the Screen
}
};

//Here is the case statement in my main function that uses the above functions. This is were I run into problems.


case 1 :
*people.print(people);
break;
case 2 :
*people.CreatePerson();
break;
case 3 :
cout << "Goodbye
";
break;
