initializing array in class

[ch0co]

I have a problem with initializing an array from within a class; all I'm trying to do is generate 7 random numbers preceding with the numbers in an array then seperate with comma's.

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

	   class Create
	   {
			 
			 public:
			 
					Create()
					{
			   Loop = 6; // did this because it doesnt allow me to
							// initialize int Loop = 6; in either public: or private:
						  
					   
		   while(0 < Loop)
			 {
		 
			cout << Numbers[Loop];
		 
		 
		  for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
		   {
			
			
			create[i] = (rand() %8) + 1;
			cout << create[i];
			if ( i == 6)
			{
				 cout << ",";
				 }
	  
	  }
   Loop--;
  }
			  
}
	protected:
			  int create[6]; 
			  int Loop;
			  int Numbers[7] = {234803, 234805, 234802};
							   
							 
};



int main(int nNumberofArgs, char* pszArgs)
{
		srand(time(0));
	   
		Create New;
		system("PAUSE");
		return 0;
		
}

I have a version that works but I think it has poor coding.
Or, is there a way I could tell rand() to generate 7 random numbers in length.

You've got a couple of significant syntax errors.

To declare a static field:

// foo.hpp

#ifndef FOO_HPP
#define FOO_HPP

class Foo
  {
  static int fooey;
  };

#endif

// foo.cpp

#include "foo.hpp"

int Foo::fooey = 6;

I've separated them into individual files, but if your class and definition are all declared in one file then stick them all together:

// myprog.cpp

...

class Foo
  {
  static int fooey;
  };

int Foo::fooey = 6;

int main()
  {
  ...
  }

That should fix things enough to keep you going.

Hope this helps.
