Illegal Zero Sized Array?

Does anybody know why this error shows? I thought you could make arrays without a set size? heres my code.

Code:

---

#include<iostream.h>

class Movie
{
        private:
                char mTitle[];
                int mYear;
                char mDir[];
        public:
                void setTitle(char mTitle[]);
                void setYear(int mYear);
                void setDirector(char mDir[]);
                void Display;
}

int main()
{
        Movie myFavoriteMovie;
        myFavoriteMovie.setTitle(mTitle[]);
        myFavoriteMovie.setYear(mYear);
        myFavoriteMovie.setDirector(mDir[]);
        myFavoriteMovie.Display;


}


void setTitle(char mTitle[])
{
        cout<<"Enter the movie title: ";
        cin>>mTitle[];
}

void setYear(int mYear)
{
        cout<<"Enter the year the movie was made: ";
        cin>>mYear;
}

void setDirector(char mDir[]);
{
        cout<<"Enter the directors name: ";
        cin>>mDir[];
}

void Display;
{
        cout<<"The movie '"<<mTitle[]<<"' was made in "<<mYear<<" and was directed by "<<mDir[]".";

(i know theres other errors in ther, i just want to get to this one first)

Look up the new and delete[] commands.

what does this error meam:

error C2664: 'setTitle' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char' to 'char []'
Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

Code:

---

#include<iostream.h>

class Movie
{
        private:
                char mTitle[15];
                int mYear;
                char mDir[15];
        public:
                void setTitle(char Title[15]);
                void setYear(int Year);
                void setDirector(char Dir[15]);
                void Display();
};

void main()
{
        char Title[15];
        int Year;
        char Dir[15];


        cout<<"Enter the movie title: ";
        cin>>Title[15];
        cout<<"Enter the year the movie was made: ";
        cin>>Year;
        cout<<"Enter the directors name: ";
        cin>>Dir[15];

        Movie myFavoriteMovie;
        myFavoriteMovie.setTitle(Title[15]);
        myFavoriteMovie.setYear(Year);
        myFavoriteMovie.setDirector(Dir[15]);
        myFavoriteMovie.Display();


};


void setTitle(char Title[15])
{
        strcpy(mTitle[15], Title[15]);
};

void setYear(int Year)
{
        mYear=Year;
};

void setDirector(char Dir[15]);
{
        strcpy(mDir[15], Dir[15]);
};

void Display();
{
        cout<<"The movie '"<<Title[15]<<"' was made in "<<Year<<" and was directed by "<<Dir[15]".";
}

What the deuce? You only need to add the brackets after an array if you're referencing a single character in it, or if it's a definition. Take all of those out of there. They give me headaches.

You need to learn how to use arrays. Stop referencing their size all the time:

cin>>Title;

why are all my variables unidentifiable now?

Code:

---

#include<iostream.h>
#include<string.h>

class Movie
{
        private:
                char mTitle[15];
                int mYear;
                char mDir[15];
        public:
                void setTitle(char Title);
                void setYear(int Year);
                void setDirector(char Dir);
                void Display();
};

void main()
{
        char Title;
        int Year;
        char Dir;


        cout<<"Enter the movie title: ";
        cin>>Title;
        cout<<"Enter the year the movie was made: ";
        cin>>Year;
        cout<<"Enter the directors name: ";
        cin>>Dir;

        Movie myFavoriteMovie;
        myFavoriteMovie.setTitle(Title);
        myFavoriteMovie.setYear(Year);
        myFavoriteMovie.setDirector(Dir);
        myFavoriteMovie.Display();


};


void setTitle(char Title)
{
        strcpy(mTitle, Title);
};

void setYear(int Year)
{
        mYear=Year;
};

void setDirector(char Dir)
{
        strcpy(mDir, Dir);
};

void Display()
{
        cout<<"The movie '"<<Title<<"' was made in "<<Year<<" and was directed by "<<Dir<<".";
}

Your functions should be named like so (with namespace):

Code:

---

void Movie::setTitle(char Title)
{
  /* code here */
}

the string copy things are the only things giving me problems now....it says:


error C2664: 'strcpy' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'char' to 'const char *'
Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

And what do you think the problem might be? No point in us telling you all the answers without you pondering about it for a while...

i dont understand the error, thats all i was asking was what the error meant, i can figure it out if i knew what it meant. im pretty sure that i used the strcpy command right...or did i do it backwards?

What is the difference between these:

char c;
char c[10];
char *c;

Understand that to understand your problem.

Oh heck, look, char c is one character only, strcpy() expects two arrays (or pointers to), not two single chars. Find that problem in your code....
