Thread: using namespace

hi

just wondering about this i'm using dev-c++ 4.9.9.2

Code:

  /* Simple tictactoe program Human vs Human */
using namespace std;
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
	
namespace board {
	char board[3][3];	// contains the board array	
	int i=0;	// I put this here because it was getting resest to 0 after cin 
}

/*

Draw tic tac toe board

*/
void board_draw()
{
	using namespace board;
	cout << "\n";
	cout << "  A B C \n\n";  

	for (int x=0;x<3;x++) {    
 		cout << x << " ";
    for (int y=0;y<3;y++) {
    	cout << board[x][y];

i get the error:

D:\Dev-Cpp\source\TicTacToe\main.cpp In function `void board_draw()':
25 D:\Dev-Cpp\source\TicTacToe\main.cpp `board' undeclared (first use this function)

if i use

Code:

board::board[x][y] 

it compiles ok

changing the name of board[x][y] should fix your problem

yeah thanks it does

that was quite foolish of me....
