Thread: problem initializing an array

Ok I have the function

Code:

void card::SetCards()
{
    name[52][4] = {
    "H:A", "H:2", "H:3", "H:4", "H:5", "H:6", "H:7", "H:8", "H:9", "H:10", "H:J", "H:Q", "H:K",
    "D:A", "D:2", "D:3", "D:4", "D:5", "D:6", "D:7", "D:8", "D:9", "D:10", "D:J", "D:Q", "D:K",
    "C:A", "C:2", "C:3", "C:4", "C:5", "C:6", "C:7", "C:8", "C:9", "C:10", "C:J", "C:Q", "C:K",
    "S:A", "S:2", "S:3", "S:4", "S:5", "S:6", "S:7", "S:8", "S:9", "S:10", "S:J", "S:Q", "S:K"
    };
}

and name[54][4] is a char.
When I try to compile my compiler (dev-c++) gives me the error

parse error before `{'

at the line


name[52][4] = {

can anyone tell me what's wrong?
thanks!

name[52][4] is already delcared inside of my class.

Code:

class card
{
    char name[52][5];
    int CardNum[52];
    int CurrentCard;
    char buf[10];

    void SetCardsInOrder();
    void SwitchCards(int* card1, int* card2);
    void SetCards();

  public:

    card();
    ~card();
    void Shuffle();
    char* DrawCard();
};

You can't set an array like this. You can only set an array to a series of values ONCE, when you originally declare it.

So, this will work:

int arr[2] = {0,1};

but this won't:

int arr[2];

arr = {0,1};

Thanks for your help everyone!
