Array of objects

Hi,

I am trying to create an array of objects but I keep getting errors.
Help me please.
The class is correct (no errors there).

Code:

#include<iostream>
 
class Dominos
{
private:
   float x;
   float z;
   float angle;


public:
   Dominos(float y,float z,float angle);
   float getX();
   float getZ();
   float getA();
   
   
};
 
Dominos::Dominos(float x,float z,float angle)
{
  this->x = x;
  this->z = z;
  this->angle = angle;
}
 
float Dominos::getX()
{
   return x;
}
 
float Dominos::getZ()
{
   return z;
} 
float Dominos::getA()
{
   return angle;
} 

int main()
{
   Dominos dom = new Dominos[100];
   dom[0] = new Dominos(1,2,3);
   printf("X %f\n",dom[0].getX());
    printf("Z %f\n",dom[0].getZ());
	 printf("A %f\n",dom[0].getA());


   return 0;
}

thanks.

Moved to C++ Programming forum.

You should post the error messages. If not, next time I'll just tell you that I have a solution, but I will neglect to tell you what it is.

Consider this line:

Code:

Dominos dom = new Dominos[100];

It has a syntax error and should be:

Code:

Dominos* dom = new Dominos[100];

But then there would be another problem: the above code invokes the default constructor for Dominos, but none is available. You also need to define the default constructor for Dominos since you declared another constructor for it.

Of course, once you follow my suggestion, this line becomes problematic since dom[0] is a Dominos object, not a pointer:

Code:

dom[0] = new Dominos(1,2,3);

Oh, and then when you are done with dom, you should destroy the array with delete[]. Then again, it would be even better to #include <vector> and use a std::vector<Dominos>.

However, the class is not const correct. The getX, getZ and getA member functions should be declared const.

Thanks.
