Objects with arguments and array

Question

Is there a way in C++ where an objects has argument added upon it, with an array such as:

int x = 1;
int y = 2;

Object myObject( x, y )[5]; // does not work         


        

Answer 1

When constructing an array of objects in C++ only the default constructor can be used unless you're using the explicit Array initialization syntax:

Object myObject[5] = { Object( x, y ),
                       Object( x, y ),
                       Object( x, y ), 
                       Object( x, y ), 
                       Object( x, y ) }

Here's some good information from the C++ FAQ about this:
