How to creating function with given code in C++? -

giving function creatcustomer() create customer. prototype:

customer*creatcustomer(const string&name, const string&id, const string&pin) 

and given code below.the structure done myself.

the question how create function using given code , prototype.

#include <iostream> #include <iomanip> #include <string> using namespace std;  struct customer { string customername; string userid; string pin; }; int main() { customer* mary = createcustomer("mary jones", "235718", "5074"); customer* john = createcustomer("john smith", "375864", "3251"); } 

first of in case don't need function, can do:

customer mary { "mary jones", "235718", "5074" }; customer john { "john smith", "375864", "3251" }; 

but if need to, should use constructor:

struct customer {     std::string customername;     std::string userid;     std::string pin;     customer(std::string a, std::string b, std::string c)         : customername(a)         , userid(b)         , pin(c)         {} }; 

the reason i'm not telling how directly because pointer in return type suggests me told use dynamic memory allocation inside function , return pointer it. that's awfully bad idea.

but since foot yours , i'm not here babysit shotgun, here's how shoot:

customer* createcustomer(const string&name, const string&id, const string&pin) {     return new customer { name, id, pin }; }
