boolean arrays

I'm trying to make an array that says true or false about a dining room and kitchen. I am familiar with int & char arrays, but not sure how to do a boolean one...

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;


int main()

{

        bool dining, kitchen; //declaring variables to boolean type.

        bool lights [2] = {dining, kitchen};
        lights[0] = false;
        lights[1] = false;
        cout << lights[0] << lights[1] << endl;

}

Arrays of these primitive types are all declared in exactly the same way. Whats the specific problem your having?

This is disregarding the fact that in your above code, either (one of):
- "dining" and "kitchen" variables can be removed as they dont really do anything--just use the array indices 0 and 1 as you are now to represent these values, rather than taking up more memory and using more variables
- dont use an array at all, and just keep your "dining" and "kitchen" variables.

oh gotcha, I was trying to store a true/false in the variable, but also in an array. I see what you mean about the array with no variables:

Code:

---

bool lights = {};  lights[1] = true;

Thanks!

When declaring the array with 2 elements, you should do it how you did in your first post, i.e.

Code:

---

bool lights[2]

---

Then assign and access elements "lights[0]" and "lights[1]" normally.
