hi all,

i have created a class names members which looks like this..

class mymembers{
  int data;
  float dummy;
  char* thename;
  public :
         mymembers()
         {
         cout<<"the value of i is "<<data;
        data =12;
         }
  mymembers(int ic,char* name)
  {
              thename = name;
              data= ic;
             cout<<"hello this object's data value is "<<data<<endl; 
              }
     mymembers(int ic,int it)
  {
              dummy = 12;
              data= ic;
             cout<<"hello this object's data value is "<<data<<endl; 
              }


  };

in main i'm initializing an array of 3 objects
the code looks like this...

int main()
{
 mymembers m[3] = {(20,22),(21,33),(45,44)};

    getch();

}

and i get an error
57 C:\Documents and Settings\abhishek\My Documents\check.cpp conversion from 'int' to non-scalar type 'mymembers' requested

and if i use one argument constructor to intialize the objects in the array then it shows no problem...so why its not taking the second argument correctly..which conversion it's talking abt...plz help!!!

Please post using code tags :) ...
> Change mymembers m[3] = {(20,22),(21,33),(45,44)}; (in your main)
to mymembers m[3] = {mymembers(20,22),mymembers(21,33),mymembers(45,44)}; > Edit:: Look at this ...

Another defects:
1. the default (the 1st) ctor does not initialize dummy and thename members.
2. the 2nd ctor does not initialize dummy member. It saves a simple pointer to the 2nd arg (especially dangerous)
3. the 3rd ctor does not initialize name member (especially dangerous case). Can't get literal names (char* instead of const char* ).
4. mymembers(x,0) ctor calls are ambiguous w/o explicit cast.
5. No copy ctor and assignment overloading for the class with pointer members (as usually it's a very dangerous symptom).

Difficult class confinement ;)...
