Dear C++ programmers,
I want to make a function that has a return value array with three dimensions.
I tried first
to create a function that will return vector of a structure that has 3 elements., but I got a compilation error C2143 saying that ";" is missing. I don't know how many elements will be in vector but I know that each element should have 3 values. I would put an array as a return value but how to fill out array dinamically?Code:vector <struct> look(....)
{
....
}
Thank you
Post more of what you tried.
Posting an error message about a missing ; then posting code which has no ; at all doesn't help us figure out what the problem is.
I apologize, I simply wanted to focus on the part where the error lies. Again I had to cut a code because it is huge I just left most important parts.Quote:

{
struct pt
{
int xc;
int yc;
double h;
};
vector <pt> v;
pt p;
...
for ( )
{
.....
v.push_back(pt);
}
}
Declare the struct pt outside of the function, then have the function return a vector<pt>
struct is a C++ keyword, it is not a type. Vectors must specify the type of the thing they hold. What type of things is your vector going to hold?
My vector is to hold structure containing three elements (int, int, double).

So rather than trying to make it work in your large project, create another small project (typically, just one file) and copy across the essence of the problem.
As well as being quicker to compile, test and run, it also offers the opportunity for you to see what the problem is anyway. If you don't, it means you have a nice simple example to post to the board.
When you create a struct, you create a new type--just like int, double, float, etc. The new type is the name of the struct. Your vector has to declare what type of things it will contain. 'struct' is not a type.Quote:

Do as Lasarlight suggested.
