array of class object

i'm creating an array of a class object. The class in question has default values and takes two arguments, an in and a char array.

Code:

class Deck
{
private:
	Cards deck[2];
public:
	Deck();
	~Deck(){};
};
Deck::Deck()
{
	deck = {Cards(2,"2h"),Cards(3,"3h")};
}

thats the class which creates an array of the class Cards.

However this is throwing up:

error C2059: syntax error : '{'
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '{'
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '}'

Is my syntax wrong somehow i can't see it?

Code:

class Deck
{
private:
	Cards deck[2];
public:
	Deck();
	~Deck();    // <-----
};
Deck::Deck()
{
	deck = {Cards(2,"2h"),Cards(3,"3h")};
}

If you want to define function body outside class, you first must make prototype inside class.

Code:

class Deck
{
...
~Deck();    //    this is prototype, its body is defined elsewhere.
                 //         Don't forget the semicolon.
};

Deck::~Deck()
{}

If you don't need to do anything in functions body, you can define its body inside class.

Code:

class Deck
{
...
~Deck(){}    //    don't put semicolor after destructors body
};

Code:

deck = {Cards(2,"2h"),Cards(3,"3h")};

This line is throwing up the errors.

Code:

class Cards
{
private: char name_of_card [5];
         // Value represents the value of the card, 1 being ace 2 - 10 numbers 11 jack , 12 queen , 13 king unlucky for some
		 int value;
public: 
	Cards(int v, char c []);
	~Cards(){};
	char  *get_name();
	int get_value();

};
Cards::Cards(int v = 2, char c [5] = "2H")
{
	value = v;
	strcpy(name_of_card , c);
}
char * Cards::get_name()
{
	return name_of_card;
}
int Cards::get_value()
{
	return value;
}

thats the card class
figured it would be easier to dechyper why that line is giving errors. Its an array of type class

It's not possible what you want to do. Arrays of objects are alwais initialized with their default-constructors.
You have to

Code:

Deck::Deck(){    
	deck[0] = Cards(2,"2h");
        deck[1] = Cards(3,"3h");
}

ah ok thanks alot just wondered if there was a more efficient way of doing that
