setting size of 2-D array at constructor issue
 

I am trying to pass the size of the matrix array during the constructor but its giving me the following error. Is there a different way to do this?

In file included from Main.cpp:1:

AdjacencyMatrix.h: In constructor ‘AdjacencyMatrix::AdjacencyMatrix(int, std::string)’:

AdjacencyMatrix.h:13: error: ‘numberOfNodes’ cannot appear in a constant-expression

Line 13 is the constructor declaration.

Here is my code

#include<string>

#include<fstream>



using namespace std;



class AdjacencyMatrix {

private:

        bool* matrix;

public:

        AdjacencyMatrix(int const numberOfNodes, string fileName)

        {

                matrix = new bool[numberOfNodes[numberOfNodes];                //two dimensional array

                populateArray(fileName);

        }

        void populateArray(string filName);

};

Thanks in advance

Re: setting size of 2-D array at constructor issue
 

I find that it compiles fine, after you take the excess

[numberOfNodes

.

I would think that removing the const keyword from your parameter list would clear the error you're getting.

FYI, you're not declaring or allocating a 2D array.

bool* matrix;

will be a 1D array only.

(using VC++ 2005)
