    variable not working

    Hi, I'm trying to write a class and one thing isn't working. I'm trying to save a few variables to use later, but it isn't working. If i don't try to use the variable 'CS' but a number directly it works. Can someone point out what I am doing wrong. I tried to include only the functions that are used. The class is defined like this:
    ADS.h
    Code:
    class ADS
    {
    public:
        void PinMap(int cs, int drdy, int reset, int start); // saves all the variables that are declared in ADS.c
        void Initialize(); // start spi and prepare pins    
        void pindown(); // used to test
    private:    
        // for pic portability
        void pinc(int pin, int lvl); 
        void pint(int pin, int type);// pinmode - 0 out, 1 in
    };
    ADS.c looks like this:
    Code:
    int CS, DRDY, RESET, START;
    void ADS::PinMap(int cs, int drdy, int reset, int start)
    { CS, DRDY, RESET, START = cs, drdy, reset, start; }
    void ADS::Initialize(){
        pint(CS, 0);
        pint(DRDY, 1); // PIN TYPE INPUT
        pinc(CS, 1);
        pint(START, 0); // PIN TYPE OUTPUT
        pinc(START, 1); // PIN LOGIC STATE 1
        pint(RESET, 0); // PIN TYPE OUTPUT
        pinc(RESET, 1); // PIN LOGIC STATE 1
    }
    void ADS::pindown()
    {
        //pint(2,0); // IF I use a number istead of CS it works throughout the code
        pinc(CS, 0);
        wait(1000);
        pinc(CS,1);
        wait(200);
    }
    void ADS::pinc(int pin, int lvl)
    {
        if (lvl == 1)
        {
            digitalWrite(pin, HIGH);
        }
        if (lvl == 0)
        {
            digitalWrite(pin, LOW);
        }
    }
    
    void ADS::pint(int pin, int type)
    {
        if (type == 1)
        {
            pinMode(pin, INPUT);
        }
        if (type == 0)
        {
            pinMode(pin, OUTPUT);
        }
    }

    CS, DRDY, RESET, START = cs, drdy, reset, start
    This isn't how you assign 4 variables with 4 values.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
