    Creating a variable

    I am looking for lines of code that would create a variable of the Flight structure named myFlight and assign 1274 as the flightNumber and 675 as the flightMiles?

    This is what I think:

    Code:
    Flight myFlight = { 1274, 675 };

    Any thoughts from anyone on my answer.

    Thanks

    Jamina

    How about:

    Flight myFlight(1274, 675);

    or

    Flight myFlight=Flight(1274, 675);


    Those are a lot more intuitive (IMO) and are done simply by having a constructor that takes those two parameters.

    or...
    Code:
    Flight myFlight;
    myFlight.flightNumber = 1274;
    myFlight.flightMiles = 675;
    Away.

    Or

    Flight myFlight;
    myFlight.SetFlightNumber(1274);
    myFlight.SetFlightMiles(675);

    My post on your other thread:
    Yeah, remember to create an instance of the struct by doing:
    Code:
    Flight instance_of_flight;
    instance_of_flight.flightNumber=635;
    instance_of_flight.flightMiles=22;
    but of course use a better name for yours

    Yeah, but classes should be used to hide the important data.
