I do apologize, I took what she said as unnecessarily harsh. I actually got offendid by it, I really was trying to understand. But if she didn't mean anything by that, then I would like to officially...

Just don't become a teacher okay? And I wasn't looking for simpler, I was loking for more expanded. You can explain anything too simple so no one understands. You ask me what a book is and I tell you...

I don't quite understand what you said to do there. Sorry

Is there any way I can make the name a constant? I'm not sure how because I can't initialize it with something.

In my program I have a loop with a variable that shows the players name, they choose something then it goes back to display their name and all it shows is arrows.... why? I'll post my code, run it...

Is there a way I can do an actual array of arrays? Not a multidimensional one. That way I could have different sized arrays in it. Or how could I do a pointer to an array, then an array of those...

I was wondering how I could access my several countryAttachedXX arrays(in this post they start on line 85), without many if statements, determined by user input. I was thinking maybe an array of...

I'm sorry, I should have specified, I need to initialize it with numbers, but not all the numbers are the same, so I can't modify the "10 copies of 'a'" suggestion. Something like, initializing an...

How do you initialize an STL list with the values when you declare it? That way I don't have to add the values later with a loop and push_back.

Thanks,

Wow, thank you, what a difference in code length....

I am trying to make a text version of risk, and I need to store the population, or army count, for each country. So the only way I could think to do that, as you'll see in my code, is by making a...

Scratch that, I was going WAY over complicated, I revised the part where the countries are divided and it works now, just in case you're wondering, this is what I was trying to do:

I'm having some trouble with STL lists. What I want to do in my program is take the players initial and put it into an array at the spot that they got from when I divided up 20 numbers (0-19). Can...

Thanks people, I'm learning here.

I'm wondering why it prints so many spaces when I only ask it to print one. Here's the code:

Thank you! I need to finish something impressive for my isu by mid next week, and although i won't be able to finish the game entirely, I will be able to show off some impressive coding. This was...

actually the second thing is giving me no problems what so ever and works perfectly. I'm just wondering how do i access the individual classes in the vector once I put them in there.

I had a thread going not too long ago, and from that I was able to make a global vector that I can store class objects in. But now when I try to access it, it says "no match for 'operator[]' in...

Ok, I figured out it does work, but you need to get rid of the word "new" in front of humanPlayer.

Also, I tried what was suggesed in that post and it didn't seem to work for me too well.

Shouldn't this work? Why does it say no matching function?

Is there any way to use STL lists for this? Because then I wouldn't need to specify a size at the begining and could make it a global list. Because I'll probably have a coupel of these things in the...

Ok, after reading these posts, I'm not sure what I should do for my code. Should I do what joe said to do with the reference? Or what s.o.s. was saying to do creating a new array and what not?

But you don't find out what the numOfPlayers value is until getName() is started.

I understand what oyu mean, but not how to really use it the way you mean to use it, how could I apply it to this code, I need to access the jailHouse array in main() and probably other functions to...

How can I make a pointer to an array? So that I access the members of the array by using the pointer in a seperate function. I'm wondering because I have an array I have to access in functions other...

I'm making a program where there is a function that asks how many players there are, and depending on the answer, it makes an array of classes that size. How can I access the array of classes from...

Is there a way to make a loop that creates strings? I ask the user how many players there are, and then the loop makes that many strings in order to get all of their names... Something like this,...

How would I go about using std::string things for what I need?

Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work? I know it's probably really easy, but I did try.... /* ISU program created by Matt

Thanks, that worked beautifully.

When using an STL list, how can I check if a certain variable happens to just be in there? Basically, given this already:

I need to set up 2 buttons to take input from the user, that increase and decrease a variable, it doesn't matter which 2 buttons are used, but preferably the up and down arrows. And I also need to...

I tried that and it still said the same thing. But is any header with the .h a deprecated one? or just the iostream one? Because i tried it with the fstream one just now. And I'm using the latest...

Thanks a lot, that helped and my program works now, although I don't understand what I should be using instead of the iostream.h i tried just iostream and it said cout was undefined...

**I know the code looks big, but it's a very small isolated section at the bottom (starting at line 164) that's giving me the problem.**
