Automatic counting works with static consts: - what is automatic counting?Code://: C10:StaticArray.cpp
// Initializing static arrays
class Values {
// static consts can be initialized in-place:
static const int scSize = 100;
// Automatic counting works with static consts:
static const float scTable[] = {
1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4
};
static const char scLetters[] = {
'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e',
'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j'
};
// Non-const statics must be
// initialized externally:
static int size;
static float table[4];
static char letters[10];
};
int Values::size = 100;
float Values::table[4] = {
1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4
};
char Values::letters[10] = {
'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e',
'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j'
};
int main() { Values v; } ///:~
but you cannot use automatic counting for non- static const arrays - explaination?
