Question

I get the error message request for member 'namn' in 'post', which is of non-class type 'telefonbok[10]', or similar versions of it.

I think it has to do with the following bit of code:

struct telefonbok 
   {
       string namn;
       string nummer;           
   };

int main()
{
int i, ja, nej;
telefonbok post[10];

What am I doing wrong?
The errors are targeted at:

cin>>post.namn;

and

cin>>post.nummer;

Here is the full code, sorry about the Swedish:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

struct telefonbok 
   {
       string namn;
       string nummer;           
   };
int main()
{

int i, ja, nej;
telefonbok post[10];
bool svar; //behövs för frågan om man vill fortsätta.

for (i=0; i<10; i++)
{
         cout<<"Lagg till en post i telefonboken."<<endl;
         cout<<"Ange personens namn"<<endl;
         cin>>post.namn;
         cout<<"Ange personens nummer :"<<endl;
         cin>>post.nummer;
         cout<<"Vill du mata in en post till? (ja/nej)"<<endl;
         cin>>svar;
         if (svar == nej) break; //stoppar slingan om man svarar nej

}

system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

Thank you for any help that you may be able to provide.

Answer 1

post is an array, so accessing one member you need to do cin>>post[index].namn; instead of cin>>post.namn;

You want to access a single post element in the array, and a member of that element.
