Re: [Dev-C++] Please help me...why doesn't the code compile?

[Vassili <v.v...@bt...>]

If your going to use pointers and arrays, always have an address to store
data, ditto for char, int, float,...,etc.

try using something like:-

#include <iostream.h>
#include "module1.h"

void main()
{
   // Initialised plus somewhere to store data
   char str1[] = "This is a test of UCase";
   char str2[] = "This is a test of LCase";

   // Pass the address of strings and display the
   // modified data, which is the returned address
   cout << "This is a test\n"
          << UCase(str1) << endl
          << LCase(str2) << endl;
}
