why it gives me this error

Code:

---

            DBraces[0].raceInfo(iRaces, sRaces[], fRaces[]);

---

Just guessing that this is line 70, and if so the empty [] are wrong. If you want to pass an array to a function, you just give it's name. If you want to pass an individual element, you need something inside the [].

oh my, why i never thought about it, thx alot. XD

btw, do u think that code is a good way to make a database and database loader/initialize?

Not having much idea of what you are actually trying to achieve, I don't know.

Having said that, you seem to be using an array for transporting data where each element has it's own meaning. It seems like a struct would be a better solution, rather than an array.

A few other things:
1. Why not make it a vector<Races> instead of a fixed size array?
2. Your constructor for races() should zero out the content of your member variables.

how using struct will be better? oO

how do i use vectors?

and by zero-out u mean yo define all the members as 0 in the default constructor?
