Thread: Accessing an Array of Struct type in Function

Looking for some help from the community. I can't seem to find the exact answer to my question after browsing around.

I am in the beginning stages of a program and after declaring a struct (cardStruct) then declaring an array of struct type (cardStruct deck[MAX_CARDS]), I am trying to access the array through my function FormCards.

Here's my problem, hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction.

Code:

cards.cpp:39: error: variable or field 'FormCards' declared void
cards.cpp:39: error: 'cardStruct' was not declared in this scope

Here's my code:

Code:

#include <iostream>#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>




using namespace std;




//Global Constants
const int MAX_CARDS = 52; //Represents the size of the deck of cards
const int MAX_SUIT = 13;


//Function Declarations
void FormCards ();


int main ()
{


    enum SuitType {CLUBS, HEARTS, SPADES, DIAMONDS}; //Enum type to represent each card's suit
    
    struct cardStruct
    {
        SuitType suit;
        int value;
        int point;
        
    };
    cardStruct deck[MAX_CARDS];


}




void FormCards (cardStruct deck[])
{
    int i, k; //loop index
    int index = 0; //Used for assigning points and values in nested for loop


    //For loop assigns suit
    //13 cards per suit
    for (i = 0; i < MAX_CARDS; i++)
    {
        if (i < 13)
            deck[i].suit = DIAMOND;
        else if (i < 26)
            deck[i].suit = CLUB;
        else if ( i < 39)
            deck[i].suit = HEART;
        else
            deck[i].suit = SPADE;
    }


    //Nested for loop assigns values and points
    for (i = 0; i < MAX_SUIT; i++)
    {
        //assign values
        deck[index].value = k + 1;


        //assign points
        //HEART card sless than 10 has a point of 5
        //HEART cards of J, Q, K have points of 10
        if (deck[index].suit == HEART)
        {
            if (deck[index].value >= 10)
                deck[index].points = 10;
            else
                deck[index].points = 5;


        }
        //Queen of SPADE has a point of 100
            else if (deck[index].suit == SPADE && deck[index].value == 12)
                deck[index].points = -100;
        //Rest of the cards will have 0 points
            else
                deck[index].points = 0;
        index++; //Increase index by 1
    }

Thanks, I had a feeling it was the placement of the struct and enum. However, now my SuitType is not being recognized in the FormCards function. Is this a matter of it not being passed into the struct/array properly?

Code:

code.cpp: In function 'void FormCards(cardStruct*)':
code.cpp:61: error: 'DIAMOND' was not declared in this scope
code.cpp:63: error: 'CLUB' was not declared in this scope
code.cpp:65: error: 'HEART' was not declared in this scope
code.cpp:67: error: 'SPADE' was not declared in this scope
code.cpp:79: error: 'HEART' was not declared in this scope
code.cpp:88: error: 'SPADE' was not declared in this scope

Aye...how embarrassing. Well that obviously fixed that. Thanks.
