Passing array to Boolean Function - c++

Question

I am working on a project for class and I have pretty much completed all my code I just have one issue (THE CODE IS IN C++). I'm not too great at using boolean functions especially in the case for this program. If you guys could help me write or push me in the right direction for this code I'd appreciate it. This program is supposed to be a Soda Machine program made of structs. My question is how do I pass the array to the boolean function in order to check if there are any drinks left for the one that the customer wants to purchase. If there are no drinks left, the program will print out "Sorry we are sold out. Please make another selection." If there are still drinks available then just do nothing and continue with the program. It will pretty much validate the amount of drinks left. I attempted to write the function but I'm not sure if it is correct, I will post it for you guys to take a look at it. If you guys need any other info please let me know. Thanks for the help before guys.

Answer 1

The function needs an object or a reference to an object of type Machine.
bool drinksRemaining(Machine const& m);
and can be implemented very simply:
bool drinksRemaining(Machine const& m)
{
return (m.drinks > 0);
}
You can use it as:
if (selection == 1)
{
if ( drinksRemaining(drink[0]) )
{
cout << "Please enter the amount you want to insert:\n";
cin >> amountInserted;
inputValidation(amountInserted);
changeReturned = amountInserted - drink[0].cost;
cout << setprecision(2) << fixed << "CHANGE : $" << changeReturned << endl;
drink[0].drinks--;
}
else
{
cout << "Sorry we are out of this drink. Please choose another one.";
}
}
