I'm trying to create a function that displays an array's contents.
void show(string arr[]){
for(int i = 0; i < sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]); i++){
cout << arr[i] << endl;
}
}
If I replace sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0])
with the length of the array I'm inputting into the function it works. Which confuses me since sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0])
evaluates to the length of the array.
Why is this happening?
Here's the calling code if it's relevant.
int main()
{
string arr[] = {"word", "word", "word", "word", "word"};
show(arr);
return 0;
}
