Having trouble getting started

If someone can help me out with this homework question that would be great!

Data Type Array Name Array Data
--------- ---------- -------------
integer aRay 9 7 5 3 1

Code the declaration and initialization of the one-dimensional array named aRay in one statement.


I just need a push in the right direction.

Are you trying to read a file in that has the above format? Or, are you stuck on how to declare arrays in C++?

I'd go over: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/arrays/

And, read the whole thing too, it will do you more good in the long run rather than searching the page for the answer to your question.

I believe this is the answer

int aRay[] = {9, 7, 5, 3, 1};

Looks okay to me. Normally, you'd specify the array size as well (5 or greater is required in this case), but you can omit it when you specify an initializer list, since the size can be deduced automatically.
