C++ Pointers to Strings?

I'm writing a C++ program in 3 separate files. Here's some of the pseudocode:





Rectangle.h


_________





...


private *char name;





rectangle


deconstructor


getName


setName


draw











Rectangle.cpp


_________





default constructor: name = "bleh";


constructor: [asks the user to enter a name and prints it back]


draw: [print name]


getName: gets the name


setName: modifies the name


deconstructor: deletes the string








TestRectangle.cpp


___________





...


Rectangle r1;


r1.draw();


r1.getName();





How do I... er... do all of this? I have to allocate memory for the string using the new keyword.


I've been trying to look this stuff up but can't seem to find anything helpful.

You evidently learned C++ before you learned programming. Take a break and learn programming now.
