initializing array in class

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.

Code:

---


#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:

Code:

---

// foo.hpp

#ifndef FOO_HPP
#define FOO_HPP

class Foo
  {
  static int fooey;
  };

#endif

---

Code:

---

// 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:

Code:

---

// 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.
