Hi!
I have a problem with a bit of code i'm writing.
What i want to do is:
In the header file:
private:
int board[16];And in the .cpp file constructor
ScoreBoard::ScoreBoard()
{
int board[16]={-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,0};
}the compiler doesn't complain but i still get trash numbers when i print the board.
How do i do to create the variable board correctly and then set it's values to those above?
Best wishes

In the constructor, you shouldn't have "int boar..", repeating the type (int) will declare a new variable called "board" that is local to the constructor. so you are initializing a local array board and never initializing the data member "board". So that is why the private data member "board" remains with garbage values.
This is allowed in the c++0x standard (add flag "-std=c++0x" to gcc to compile):
ScoreBoard::ScoreBoard() : board({-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,0}) { };Otherwise you have to initialize them one by one, i.e. with a loop from 0 to 14 to set to -1 and finally setting the last element to 0.
