Thread: Error in Dev C++...

Code:

#ifndef SALES_H_
#define SALES_H_

namespace SALES {
    
    const int QUARTERS = 4;
    class Sales {
        private:
            double sales[QUARTERS];
            double average;
            double max;
            double min;
        public:
            // default constructor
            Sales();
            Sales(const double ar[], int n);
            ~Sales();
            void showsales() const;
    };
}
#endif

I keep getting this error message:
sales.h `double SALES::Sales::sales[4]' is private

That's because it is. You've got the word private right there on the line before. You can't use private members of a class outside the class.

My thing is the solution code looks the same in terms of the location of the QUARTERS constant.

Ok, I got it. The real problem was in main 'sales' instead of 'Sales'...
