C++ beginner's question

Jul 31st, 2006

Hello,

I have just started to learning C++. I have a question regarding a small code snippet that I am having trouble with. I get a compiler error saying that there is a parse error before the { token. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,
Navid

Here's the code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
 struct CandyBar 
    {
        string brand;
        int calories;
        float weight;
    };
    CandyBar *snack = new CandyBar[3];        
    
        snack[0] = {"Milky Way", 350, 2.3};  //**Error before { token
        snack[1] = {"Hershey's", 400, 3.3};
        snack[2] = {"Dove", 450, 4.3};

   delete [] snack;
        
    return 0;
}
