Ahhhh!

Ok, I invented a class to pass an array of ints:

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <fstream.h>
using namespace std;

class Keeper {
 private:
  SHORT zzx[5];

 public:
  Keeper() {zzx[0] = 0; zzx[1] = 0; zzx[2] = 0; zzx[3] = 0; zzx[4] = 0;}
  Keeper(SHORT z, SHORT zz, SHORT zzz, SHORT zzzz, SHORT b) {zzx[0] = z; zzx[1] = zz; zzx[2] = zzz; zzx[3] = zzzz; zzx[4] = b;}
 
  void Check(SHORT x) {zzx[x] = 1;}
  void Uncheck(SHORT x) {zzx[x] = 0;}
  void UncheckAll() {zzx[0] = 0; zzx[1] = 0; zzx[2] = 0; zzx[3] = 0; zzx[4] = 0;}
 
  int IsChecked(SHORT x);
};

int Keeper::IsChecked(SHORT x) {
 if(zzx[x] == 1)
  return 1;
 
 return 0;
}

Pritty elementary, no safety at all. But its driving my compiler nuts:

Code:

---

IsArrowDown code:

Code:

---

Keeper IsArrowDown() {
 Keeper Zouth();

 if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_UP)&SHRT_MAX)
  Zouth.Check(0);
 if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_DOWN)&SHRT_MAX)
  Zouth.Check(1);
 if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LEFT)&SHRT_MAX)
  Zouth.Check(2);
 if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RIGHT)&SHRT_MAX)
  Zouth.Check(3);
 if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_ESCAPE)&SHRT_MAX)
  Zouth.Check(4);

 return Zouth;
}

---

Check code:

Code:

---

Keeper Check(Keeper x) {

 if(x.IsChecked(1)==1) {
  MoveRight();
  return 1;
 }

 if(x.IsChecked(2)==1) {
  MoveLeft();
  return 2;
 }

 return 0;
}

It seems to not enjoy the use of my class... But I dont see why its rejecting it? I can post my whole source, but its pritty long and I'd rather avoid it.

Thank you!

>> Keeper Zouth();

This does not declare an instance of the Keeper class, it declares a function called Zouth that returns a Keeper. It is a weird quirk of the language. Remove the parentheses.

BTW, it should be <fstream>, not <fstream.h>.

drop the paranthesis

Code:

---

Keeper Zouth();

You are returning ints in Check(Keeper x), but you have declared Check(Keeper x) as type Keeper. Change the type to int

See if that clears the errors

Lol seriously? Haha, it worked once I moved the paranthases, I didint realise I could declare a function in a function. (Does that make a sub-function only accessable to the function that declared it by any chance?) Well now I'm just left with:

[edit]
I guess I missed your last part -,-.

Thank you!
