copying unknown string lenghts

Expand Post »

Basically I've got a const string (it stays the same lenght) Only trying to implement it into OOP.

heres the constructor:

[php]score::score(void)
{
lives = 5;
char * end =
{
" --------------+-\n"
" + |\n "
"+ ?\n"
" +\n"
" +\n"
" +\n"
" +\n"
};

strcpy( death, end);

}[/php]

but the program fails to run when I excute it, so kinda stuck and puzzled.

Re: copying unknown string lenghts

probably should be char end[] = not char * = . Also, where is death defined (and how big is it?)

when I try and compile it with that i get:

Re: copying unknown string lenghts

post your score class and we will take a look for you. there isnt enough code to help there. It appears that maybe you have forgotten to write a member func or something similar.
