Question

I have the following method in a file called index.cpp. When I compile, it’s telling me that “indexStructure” is not defined in this scope.

#include "index.h"
#include <cctype> // provides isalpha() and tolower()
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>

using namespace std;

void index::shiftRight (int i)
{
if ( indexSize == (sizeof(indexStructure) / sizeof(indexStructre[0])))
    doubleIndex();

for (int j = indexSize; j > i; j--)
    indexStructure [j] = indexStructure [j-1];
}

in index.h, i have

class index
{

struct node {
    string item;
    int counter;
    int* pageNumber;
};

...

private:
    node* indexStructure;
    int lineCounter;
    int indexSize;

};

I intend to make an array of type node and use it to search through words in a book. Why is it undefined?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You misspelled sizeof(indexStructre[0]) in index::shiftRight(). Correct that to indexStructure and try again.
