Question

I’m trying to create a vector with a specific size, of 255 (max)..
It doesnt work for me, like I see in examples over the internet…

I’m using Microsoft Visual C++ 2012…

I have the current code :

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <stdlib.h>

using namespace std;

const int MAX = 255;

class test
{
vector <string> Name(MAX);
};

int main()
{
system("PAUSE");
}

It gives me 2 errors :

Error 1 error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'MAX'


2 IntelliSense: variable "MAX" is not a type name


Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

That’s not valid syntax for a class declaration. Try:

class test
{
   vector <string> Name;
   test() : Name(MAX) {}
};

You can write vector <string> Name(MAX); when you create a variable (in your case, you’re declaring a member). For example:

int main()
{
   vector <string> Name(MAX);
}

would be perfectly valid.
