pointer help please!

[ischneider]

I need to pass the value of a pointer from one function to another.

I have it set up like this...

void GetTheMoney();
void FigureTheWinnings(int *, int &BetAmount);

void GetTheMoney()
{
int BetAmount, *BetAmt_ptr = &BetAmount;

cout << "\nEnter the amount you wish to bet.";
cin >> *BetAmt_ptr;
}

void FigureTheWinnings(int *, int &BetAmount)
{

cout<< (... i need BetAmount or *BetAmt_ptr here!? )

}

i think my protoype format is wrong can anyone show my the correct format.

please and thank you!

int BetAmount, *BetAmt_ptr = &BetAmount;

Don't declare multiple variables in one statement, especially if they are different types! It's confusing and an easy source of bugs.

void FigureTheWinnings(int *, int &BetAmount)

You aren't giving the first parameter a name, so how can you access it?
