OOP and global arrays

here is a mock up of what i have:

Code:

---

struct blah {
// some stuff
};

blah array[100];

...
// functions..
...

---

this is in a seperate file to the main, [edit] i think [/edit] the compiler asks me to place this decleration inside a function i need it to be global, any ideas? its late where i am so if u need more info or the actual code then ask. Cheers

Code:

---

28 C:\ass1.cpp variable-size type declared outside of any function

---

hope this helps

Your example says 100, and your error message says "variable-size"
So which is it?

If you need it to be variable, then try

Code:

---

blah *array;

// then inside some early function
array = new blah[howmany];

---

Yeah sorry should post the code

Code:

---

static int MAXRECORDS = 100;

struct PetRecord {
// stuff
};


PetRecord PetID[MAXRECORDS];

---

Hope this helps

more info: this is not inside any function, its in my file ass1.cpp which is before all my functions.

Forgot to make it a constant for anyone who cares.
*so angry*
