Question

I’m trying to create an array of structs. Is the code below valid? I keep getting an expected primary-expression before '{' token error.

int main() {
  int pause;
  struct Customer {
    int uid;
    string name;
  };

  Customer customerRecords[2];
  customerRecords[0] = {25, "Bob Jones"};
  customerRecords[1] = {26, "Jim Smith"};
  cin >> pause;
  return 0;
}

Answer 1

Try this:

Customer customerRecords[2] = {{25, "Bob Jones"},
                               {26, "Jim Smith"}};
