Thread: Syntax Trouble

I am having second thoughts about the book I am studying.. on more than one occasion, I have ended up debugging the author's examples... (Windows Programming with C++ -Henning Hansen) Here is my latest example:

Code:

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWindow, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
        

    static BYTE Pixel[6][5] = {0, 255, 0, 255, 0,  0, 
                               255, 0, 255, 0 255, 0, 
                               0, 255, 0, 255, 0,  0,
                               255, 0, 255, 0, 255,0,
                               0, 255, 0, 255, 0,  0};


    static HBITMAP hBitmap;
    static HDC hdcmem;

    switch(msg)
    {

        case WM_LBUTTONDOWN:

The program compiles except for one error.. stating that Pixel data structure was terminated incorrectly..

This method for initializing a 2D array looks kinda shady to me..

Q: is there a better/preferred method for initializing a 2D array like the one above..??

thanks in advance

Code:

static BYTE Pixel[6][5] = {0, 255, 0, 255, 0,  0, 
                               255, 0, 255, 0, 255, 0, 
                               0, 255, 0, 255, 0,  0,
                               255, 0, 255, 0, 255,0,
                               0, 255, 0, 255, 0,  0};

Looks like you missed a comma.

Each dimension needs it's own set of braces

Code:

    static BYTE Pixel[6][5] = { {0, 255, 0, 255, 0,  0}, 
                               { 255, 0, 255, 0 255, 0 }, 
                               { 0, 255, 0, 255, 0,  0 },
                               { 255, 0, 255, 0, 255,0 },
                               { 0, 255, 0, 255, 0,  0 }};

good suggestions.. program works great
