Loop through an array - c++

Question

I would like to know, how to loop through a array of int to get its value and set its value. I know how to use the for loop to to get instantly, but I am not sure how it works, when I am using in user created objects and esp using the get set method.
I am totally new to this and have very little guidance from my lectures. I hope you guys can assist to help me. This up to where I have done.
//point.h
class point {
private:
int x[4];
public:
int getx();
void setx();
};
//point.cpp
class point {
point::getx(){
// ??????
}
point::setx(){
// ???????
}
//main.cpp
int main(){
point objPoint;
objPoint.setx(/* ???? */);
???? = objPoint.getx();
}

Answer 1

First of all, your getx method should return int*, not just int, and your setx should receive const int* as parameter. Second, in your point.cpp file you shouldn't redeclare class point.
int* point::getx() { //version with copying
int* ans = new int[4];
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
ans[i] = x[i];
}
return ans;
}
void point::setx(const int* y) {
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
x[i] = y[i];
}
}
Then you can use them like this
int y[4] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
int* z;
objPoint.setx(y);
z = objPoint.getx();
Just don't forget to delete[] z when you're done.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you probably want something like more this:
point.h:
class Point{
private:
int x, y;
public:
int getx();
int gety();
void setx(int value);
void sety(int value);
};
point.cpp
int Point::getx() { return x; }
int Point::gety() { return y; }
void Point::setx(int value) { x = value; }
void Point::sety(int value) { x = value; }
main.cpp
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
Point objPoint;
objPoint.setx(1);
int x = objPoint.getx();
cout << "x=" << x << endl;
return 0
}
Even better, you might wish to define a constructor like Point (int xvalue, int yvalue).
IMHO ...
